Parade theme: Think classic Americana–small-town USA, the nostalgic summer movie The Sandlot, vintage muscle cars, convertibles and tractors, baseball, hot dogs and apple pie!

Let's celebrate a time when life moved a little slower–a time when children pedaled bikes until the streetlights came on and dragged their little red wagons down the sidewalks, and when everyone on the block knew your name.
