The "Purple Riders" 2002

  GH "Parade Chairlady" Slim decided our participation in the 2002 Broomcorn Festival Parade should honor Arcola High School, home of the Purple Riders.

 
  Before the parade, just getting READY takes lots of time and preparation. Slim had started collecting "purple sparkles" for a whole year in advance of our GH theme honoring Arcola High School's outstanding student body.......The Purple Riders.

 

     While waiting for the parade to begin, what to our surprise.........WCIA interviewed us for an evening news clip. Follow the bronco so you don't miss us!!

 

 

 
 And to make it all worth the effort..............................
