Thousands of people will line Main Street Thursday morning to watch the Annual Good Morning USA parade. The parade begins at 9 a.m. and will travel down Main Street from Theodore to Hartsough. The parade theme this year will be "Salute the Troops" featuring veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and others.  Fred Hill, the parade organizer, describes the parade as a “Variety Show In Motion” and promises you and the kids will not be bored.  (Click here for more information).
