Get ‘Circus, Circus’ entries ready for McGregor-Marquette Labor Day parade
On Saturday, Sept. 5, the McGregor-Marquette Chamber of Commerce will be hosting its annual Labor Day parade. This year’s theme is once again “Circus, Circus” in celebration of the upcoming 150th birthday of John Ringling, co-founder of the Ringling Bros., and later co-owner of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. The parade steps off at 11 a.m., beginning near St. Mary’s in McGregor and continuing north on Main Street.
“Come line up on Main Street for the fun, stay for the Hole in the Sock Gang’s theatrical performance in front of Uncle Sam’s at 1 p.m., enjoy lunch at one of many eateries, enjoy a historical boat tour and get in some shopping while in town. There is plenty of fun and activities for everyone,” Chamber of Commerce Director Carolyn Gallagher said.
Anyone interested in participating in the parade or needing more information may contact Carolyn at (563) 873-2186 or mcgregormarquettechamber@gmail.com. All entries are encouraged to be in the theme of “Circus, Circus.” Prizes will be given to the top three entries according to originality and theme orientation.
