MASON CITY – The Band Fest parade in Mason City was held in perfect spring weather Saturday.
The parade kicked off at 10 AM and lasted about 2 hours, traveling east on State Street. Many businesses, organizations – and even some high school bands – participated.
Lake Mills and Osage put on highly entertaining shows during the 77th Band Fest parade. Some of the floats were quite detailed; one featured a car wreck with a “corpse” on the hood, kids wreatling in mud, another was a smoking train, and Cutting Edge Tree Service featured owner Kevin Hardy suspended up to 40 feet in the air.
There was also a car show that was heavily attended, and the carnival was packed Saturday. Rain hampered attendance Sunday.
