According to a release, the parade will be followed by an antique vehicle display, which will be held on South Center Street adjacent to the festival grounds.

As well as antique cars and trucks, there will be antique tractors available to see at the event.

The festival theme of this year is “Just One More.”

Festival Chairman Dereck Smith said, “we seemed to be hearing it from visitors, volunteers, and board members. It was a natural theme for the 2022 festival. As usual, floats of all kinds are welcome to participate.”
