In a statement, the members of the Midnight Parade Committee thanked the city and “all those who helped make the 35th annual parade a success. In a non-election year, and especially in a ‘down’ economy, parade entries are always fewer, but we found this year’s entries to be fun, quality and representative of what Anderson/Madison County has to offer.”
