Junior Parade

2009 RESULTS

It was all about kids, as the 73rd Fred Meyer Junior Parade (the oldest and largest all children's parade in the nation) rolled down Sandy Boulevard at 1:00 p.m. (between NE 51st and 36th Avenues) on Wednesday, June 3.

Middle school bands, dancers, karate kickers and homemade floats delighted a large crowd of family and friends under a favorable sky with hot temperatures.
