Gaylord's Alpenfest saves the best for last. Their parade is on Saturday, closing day for the festival. And what a parade! It went on for over an hour and included marching bands, floats, antique cars, local clubs and businesses, police, rescue, fire, and of course "dignitaries" such as Ronald MacDonald, Homer (Home Depot) and Jet (Jet's Pizza). A unique group was the local grocers' precision marching shopping carts! I'd estimate that over one third of the approximately fifty floats were queens and courts from other Michigan towns and festivals. This state loves it's festivals!
