The Bowling Green Community Holiday Parade lived up to its theme “Holiday Sparkle.”
Under clear winter morning light, the parade delivered what the parade is supposed to deliver: holiday music, festive floats, dignitaries, candy for the grabbing, and plenty of smiles.
Here are just a few scenes from this morning’s parade.
Watch for a BG Independent video on the parade tomorrow.
