PIERCETON — Pierceton Days concluded Saturday with activities which included a parade, food, entertainment and fireworks.
The parade kicked off at 5 p.m. with entries including floats, three bands, political parties, school board candidates, school teachers, organizations and local businesses.
Many started finding their parade spots several hours before, many opting for the shaded sides of First Street. By parade time, both sides were filled with spectators.
Reichert/Knepp wrecker service loaned the use of two large wreckers to hang the American flag across First Street, where every parade entry crossed beneath.
Following the parade, the masses went to Brower Park, where food vendors lined the street, artist and businesses displayed their wares and local churches provided fun games for all. Bounce houses were available and live music provided.
Earlier in the day the fire department hosted a breakfast, there was a corn hole tournament and motorcycle show.
