I just love seeing the people that I knew growing up and the way everyone changes and all the new faces.It is a great way for us to come together and now our kids can watch the parade together.

E-mail: Contact 		I have such great memories of my grandpa Bob Fincannon announcing the parade every year. Also, I remember my friends and I would save our money to go spend at the booths - we got lots of treasures back then. Finally, it was always so much fun for the entire Fincannon Family to meet over at my grandma and grandpa's house during the festival. Great memories...

E-mail: Contact 		I remember my girls saving pennies all year for the festival. A few days before the festival we would spend all afternoon wrapping our pennies to take to the bank. What fun they had spending their own money. Now I'll start saving pennies for my two granddaughters. I'll never forget when Bob Fincannon dressed up like tarzan (I think it was tarzan). I miss Bob. He left us with wonderful memories.
