FORDYCE — Rain dampened the ground, but couldn’t dampen the spirits of area residents during the Fordyce Centennial celebration here Saturday.
Over 2,000 people turned out to see an hour-long parade featuring over 104 entries from across the region.
The parade staging area behind the church and ball field stretched for nearly a mile. The parade then entertained people of all ages as it wound its way through Fordyce.
The rain came down hard during the parade, but it didn’t bother the Fordyce failthful.
“At first I was very sad because I was really hoping for a beautiful day,” said Centennial Committee member Ruth Wielbelhaus. “Then I thought, we need the rain, now the farmers can be here.”
