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.
