What would Dryden Dairy Day be like without a parade?!

The Dryden Dairy Day parade is certainly the biggest spectacle in Dryden, and perhaps its favorite. Cash prizes will be awarded in two categories: Best Float/Vehicle and Best Walking Entry. First place: $50; second place: $25, plus $75 Grand Prize for Best Use of Theme. Parade winners will be announced during opening ceremonies at Montgomery Park. You do not have to be present to win.

Parade Route

The parade will leave the auction barn on East Main St. and continue east to Lewis St., then turn north onto Lewis St. for one block. Turning right at Elm St., the parade ends at Montgomery Park.

Perhaps you remember these parade participants from Dryden Dairy Day 2007. Who will return in 2008?
