Just days after being canceled, the 9th annual North Dakota Autumnfest Parade is now officially back on for Saturday, September 20, with a number of stipulations.
UPDATE, 9/12/14, 10:52am: Bismarck Mayor, Mike Seminary, just posted the following on our Facebook page:
Autumn Fest parade... we are working on a plan to keep 2014 parade on calendar!! When dealing with public safety many factors must be taken into consideration. I am confident we will be successful. Thanks for your understanding. Stay tuned!!!
In what would have been its ninth consecutive year,
In a move that surprised virtually everyone, the annual Independence Day parade in Mandan was canceled Friday morning. So what happened? We had the exclusive opportunity to speak with Marlo Anderson, parade co-chair, one of the decision makers behind the process.
Though it passes in the blink of an eye, there are plenty of fun activities to do in Bis-Man in the Fall before we succumb to Old Man Winter's death grip.
Mother Nature surely tried, but even she couldn't dampen the spirits of the thousands of spectators who lined the streets of Mandan for the annual Independence Day Parade.
