A number of other Abilene musicians and entertainers are scheduled Saturday and Sunday, including bands, martial arts and gymnastics demonstrations, and dancers. A number of artists will be displaying their wares throughout the weekend, including Abilene residents Dorothy Chick, Eddie Krieger, Lankford Mesquite and Martin Pothier. The parade will travel north for several blocks, and then travel south to North First and Cypress for a ribbon-cutting for Abilene's 120th birthday. The parade theme is children in the community. Every kid loves a parade.
Kids enjoy having an excuse to get dressed up and walk in the street.
