94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The City of Elizabethtown is gearing up for this weekend’s Heartland Homecoming Parade.
“It is one of the largest parades in the state of Kentucky,” Pyles said. “We have over a hundred entries this year made up of floats, walkers, fans, dignitaries, just about anybody you can imagine you’ll probably see them on that Saturday.”
That’s City Events Manager Beth Pyles.
The parade will step off from Public Square at 10 a.m., running north to Saint John Road.
“This year’s theme is ‘A Walk Through Time: Remembering our Past and Planning for our Future,’ which we think is fantastic,” Pyles said. “We’ve had so much growth in Elizabethtown, but there is a lot of focus on restoration, downtown, buildings, trying to not tear down our past, but to try to rebuild that and make that an enjoyable area for our community.”
Reflecting on the theme, the grand marshals for this year’s parade are members of the Charles W. Logsdon Historic Downtown Elizabethtown Walking Tour.
All are welcome to come out for the parade.
“Hopefully the weather will be in our favor, but we encourage everyone to come out and join us that day,” Pyles said. “We find that we have really large crowds, lots of candy is given out, and it’s just a fun day in Elizabethtown.”
If you are not able to attend, you can follow along with parade coverage on Quicksie 98.3.
