Various vehicles — including military aircraft — children, animals, area dignitaries, pageant winners, churches and musicians were all part of Sparta's annual Fourth of July Parade last Saturday.
Sandy Rost, chairman of the Sparta Revitalization Committee, which organized the parade, said there were more than 75 entries. She said she was especially pleased that so many floats were homemade; only three were commercial floats.
G.I. JOE? — An army jeep with a giant soldier replica rolls through town
during the July 4 parade last Saturday. The jeep and its oversized
lookout were a favorite with parade-goers.
