​Hot, sunny weather for Ripley-Huron Fall Fair parade

The sun shone, good and hot, on the Ripley-Huron Fall Fair parade, Saturday, as a huge crowd lined the streets for the event which was mammoth, stretching for almost an hour.

Entries gathered at the soccer fields on Park Street and then marched past Rosewood RVilla, along Tain Street back to Huron Street, and through downtown Ripley to the fairgrounds.

Leading the parade was the Ripley-Huron Legion float, followed by the Ripley Agricultural Society president, James MacDonald, and several cars carrying dignitaries.

Then, there was a lengthy gap before the Teeswater Highlanders Pipe Band marched down the street, followed by numerous floats, vintage cars, trucks and tractors, and the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band, as well as miniature horses, and several floats featuring businesses, groups and organizations, and families, including the ever-popular Ripley and District Horticultural Society “For Our Youth” Club float.
