Parade, pancake breakfast and expanded kids activities set for Riverboat Days Saturday
Summary
Organizers say the Saturday schedule includes a pancake breakfast, day run/walk, Atwater car show, farmer's market, kids' duck races at the city park and a parade at 3 p.m. with more than 30 floats expected.
Stephanie Mallett outlined the packed Saturday schedule: a pancake breakfast, a run/walk rally, the Atwater car show and the farmer's market; she said the festival's expansion required moving the children's duck races to the city park this year. "So the duck races will be at the city park this year because we are growing," Mallett said.
Mallett added the parade has drawn more than 30 floats signed up as of early July, and she expects that number to grow before the event. To honor veterans, active military and first responders, organizers will provide a grand marshal float at which members of those groups can ride if they prefer not to build separate entries. The parade route will run from the fairgrounds past Aitkin Manor and then cut over toward the high school, starting at about 3:00 p.m.
