Sep. 15—GREENSBURG — The Fall Festival Herb Kohler Memorial Parade is scheduled to step off at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

"Special People Make a Great Community" is the theme for this year's parade.

Former Police Chief Brandon Bridges, who is a big supporter of individuals with special needs, is this year's Grand Marshal. He will be immediately followed by Decatur County Special Olympians.

Also featured in this year's parade will be the bicentennial banners on the Square; Shawn Green of Green Signs donated duplicate banners for the parade. Some of the banners will go through the parade with the person they salute. Some of the special people include Mary Lou Davis, Dyar Miller, Pat Smith, Jerry and Sue Abplanalp, Ruthanne Gordon, Melissa Foist, Alex Meyer, Cleo Duncan and Bill Smith.

A special thank you to Green Signs for making this possible.

In all, there are 85 entries expected to participate in the parade. There will be several floats, kings and queens, cheerleaders, bands, flags, horses, teachers and lots of candy.

Honda will be featuring more than 15 different cars and vehicles from the past, and Hopeless Hollow will have their funny and scary Halloween exhibits.

The parade will line up at 9:30 a.m. near KB Foods on N. Broadway Street. Parade line up positions and the parade route are included in the printed map.

The Fall Festival Committee would like to thank O'Mara Foods for being a major sponsor for this year's event.
