It was a hot midday in Alexandria on Saturday (July 19) and hundreds of parade participants and spectators gathered for the annual Alexandria Fun Days Parade. The Parade is one of the major events in the annual five-day fun festival, and participants included elected officials, candidates, participants in the Little Miss Fun Days competition included Caroline Liggett who was crowned Little Miss Fun Days, and floats representing area businesses and agencies. Special congratulations to Fun Days Chairman Syd Kean and his Committee for a great job!

County Commissioner Tim Bubb, who also serves as County Bicentennial Chairman, says one of the highlights was the Bicentennial Float featuring the County Courthouse, County Flags and Banners decorating the historic 1950's era GMC 250 flat bed truck donated to the cause and driven by Commissioner Doug Smith. The Bicentennial Float has been and will be a participant in most of the area's parades this summer and fall, commemorating the founding of Licking County 200-years ago in 1808.
