Henry C. Merwin and Lewis A. Armistead defend the work horse parade as a charitable, well-kept, nonparade review open to all. They argue it differs from circus parades and aligns with Memorial Day, noting no profits, expenses covered by donors, and ribbons plus occasional prizes for owners and drivers. Elwin R. Short has opposed the circus parade but supported this effort.
