There is nothing like a good parade, and if there isn't one in Alpine Township, you can at least enjoy the one presented by your good neighbors in Sparta. Saturday afternoon was just a perfect day to watch a parade, and be thankful you were there just to watch, and not have to participate in the activities. Sparta put on a wonderful parade, and there were some ties to Alpine Township as well.
Sparta Days is now a national event, with participants coming from all over the United States. The couple on the right is from Columbus Ohio and came to participate in the K5 run. The young lady on the left is from Pinkney,Michigan and was the first placewinner in the 65+ Division.

Lots of political candidates were present. Here's a new twist....candidates bring their own babies to be kisssed.
