The 2010 Croaker Festival Parade
The 2010 Croaker Festival Parade stepped off promptly at 10am to the cheers of thousands of visitors and residents who lined Broad Street, Hodges Street, and South Street.
The Grand Marshalls for the parade were the women of the Oriental Women's Club who worked to make the very first Croaker Festival a reality.
We thank all of the folks who participated and helped to make this such a grand parade... truly befitting Croaker Festival's 30 year history!
(Placing your mouse over a picture will stop the parade.)
