Athens College Day Parade Noted for Length and Pageantry
Athens county day events featured a parade over a mile long with college girls in white, a Yalu animal display, and floats from Hull Foster to Zenner Co. Officers of the Athens Lumber Co led the procession, while Alexander’s delegation failed to appear. Rain threatened but only a light shower fell as bands played and participants showcased town businesses and student groups.
