Sparta Town and Country Days Days Parade

Sparta hosted its Town and Country Days last week and it has to be one of the best small town celebrations anywhere.  Not only does it give a flavor of the Sparta community, there was a presence of  neighboring communities, including Alpine Township.  Saturday featured  many activities including a parade held under blue skies for lots of spectators.
