Sand and Sage Fair Parade Results & Pix

The Shriners are Represented in this Year’s Fair Parade

The Annual Sand and Sage Fair Parade was held this past Saturday, August 11, on a sunny, warm day.  Entries lined up along South Main Street for the annual northerly route and passed crowds of people lining the streets for a glimpse of the float entries, perhaps a candy toss coming their way and a chance to wave hello to a friend or relative.  This year’s theme for the Fair was “Boots and Barbed Wire”.  Toni McPherson of the Sand and Sage Fair Board provided this year’s results.
