One could say the Kiddie Parade had its start at the 4th Annual Kolacky Day celebration in 1932.  In 1932, 50 little girls strolled along Main Streeet in the Doll Buggy Parade.  Seven (7) of these little girls were selected as winners.  They included Jacqlein Florie, Patricia McKeon, Mary Ellen & Tatty Keohen, Joan Lebens, Mary Stewart, and Ardell Franke.   Following a couple more mentions in the Montgomery Messenger, the Doll Buggy Parade was never mentioned again.  In 1959, the Montgomery Messenger stated that the Small Fry will have their day Saturday via a Kiddies Day parade.  The local school band provided music for the tiny highsteppers who competed for prizes in four (4) divisions - Doll Buggies, Bikes and Trikes, Wagons, and Pets.  Throughout the years, the event has changed, but the smiles on the kid's faces have not.

Come to Memorial Park on Saturday and enter your child in Kiddie Parade or come and watch!  Treats and prizes for the first 25 who enters!
