Weather aside, the 2021 Homecoming Parade was a hit
The rain helped motivate parade participants to line up quickly, and by the time the parade was ready to roll, it had subsided. Instead, onlookers were only showered with candy treats as the Homecoming parade wound its way through downtown Stockbridge. This year’s class floats were themed around Fairy Tales, and there was no limit to the creativity that was on display.
Representatives from Legion Post 510 get ready to ride in style at the head of the parade.

A little rain isn’t going to stop Stockbridge area onlookers from lining up to watch the parade. Their patience was rewarded as the rain lightened up in time for the parade to make its rounds.
Members of the SDDA are proud to be parade sponsors.
