From the cute to the outlandish, the Hog Days Parade is worth watching
for the "pig" value. People in pig costumes, vehicles disguised as
moving pigs and everything in between. And, of course, queens, fire
trucks, old cars and marching bands from all over! It's rustic, it's
rural and it's fun to just sit
and watch which is what several thousand people end up doing along the
one mile parade route that proceeds from one end of town to the other.
Award winners in this past year's parade included: State Bank of Toulon, winner of the Ambassador's Cup...the
Kewanee YMCA, winner of
the Sweepstakes Award...People's National Bank, winner in the commercial
division (its third award in a row!)...The Encounter Church, winner of the Not for
Profit Award...and Petersen Health Care, the most original award winner.
