A large crowd was on the Bond County Fairgrounds Tuesday night for the fair parade.

Many organizations and businesses were represented in the parade, including veterans groups. The Bond County Community Unit 2 Marching Comets performed.

Several floats were also in the parade. First place winners included the Greenville Fire Department in the professionally-built division, the Greenville First Christian Church in the non-professional division for churches and organizations, and Randy’s Country Barn Christmas Trees in the non-professional business division.

Many pictures from Tuesday night’s parade can be seen at wgel.com. The parade was the final big event of this year’s fair.

This kind officer, Jim Hess, was helping (protecting), this tiny blonde haired girl, Abbey Belcher. I thought it was such a touching photo." — WGEL listener Connie Criner sent this photo to us.
