Deadline to apply is Oct. 16
101512 FAIR PARADE 01
Georgia Southern mascot Freedom the Eagle and handler Steve Hein were the the Grand Marshalls of the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair Parade, as shown in this October 2012 file photo.
Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair Parade Chairman Charles Sheets remembers all too well having to cancel the annual parade a few years ago because of weather. But he predicts the skies will be clear Monday, Oct. 20, when the parade is expected to kick off the week of the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair. Already, more than 90 organizations have applied to participate in the parade, but it is not too late to sign up, he said.
