Time to prepare Lady Vestey Days parade entries

 


It’s time build floats, polish up antique vehicles and farm machinery and do whatever else it takes to prepare entires for this year’s Lady Vestey Victorian Celebration parade. This issue of The Express contains an advertisement the explains the various parade categories and prizes being offered.

The theme this year is Superior Strong and highlights the community’s strength and circus history. In the early years of the community, thousands of people would come to town on circus day. The Ringling Brothers Circus travelled by train as did many others and with a main line of the Burlington railroad passing through town, the big shows frequently played here. Central Avenue was often home to a circus parade just as it will be the route for this year’s Vestey parade.
