Without any motorized vehicles, this parade will step off at 6:15 from Travis and Washington, it will circle around the square, over and around Kidd-Key and the Municipal Lawn and back to the Library. Led by the Express Personnel Clydesdales, the parade will include Grand Marshal Lee Hudgins in a wagon belonging to Texoma Carriage. Michael Martin Murphey and Robert Joe Vandygriff will follow Marshal Hudgins and other entries include; the Grayson County Sheriff's Posse, Chico Bond, Molly Miller, several stage coaches and wagons, the Madill Riding Club, the Glory Riders, trail riders, the Red River Cowboy Church Riders, Peruvian Trail Riders, the Paso Doble' Peruvian horses and the Whitesboro Riding Club. Come downtown at 4:30 to have your picture made beside the "gentle giant" Clydesdale, an endeavor that benefits the Children's Miracle Network. At 5:00 the chuck wagon will open for dinner at a cost of only $6.50 for beans and cornbread and fried taters followed by Dutch oven peach cobbler.
