Crowds lined the street all the way from the Manhattan Town Center to Aggieville Friday night to watch the lighted floats, trucks, and even people, horses, and dogs.
Manhattan Mayor Wynn Butler presided over the festivities, with several former Mayors assisting in judging float entries. Those present included former Mayors Brad Everett, Mark Hatesohl, Bruce Snead, Loren Pepperd, and Tom Phillips, who currently serves as 67th District St. Representative.
Canned food donations were collected for the Flint Hills Breadbasket, with the Aggieville tree lighting in Triangle Park following the parade.
