Kiwanis preps for Old Settlers’ Day

Marion Kiwanis Club members are preparing for Old Settlers’ Day.

Casey Case said at Tuesday’s meeting that last year’s parade went smoothly because of the impending rain. The parade list, which is not finalized, includes participating Marion High School classes dating back to 1947, which is celebrating its 70th reunion. From ’47 on, only two classes are currently missing: ’87 and ’12.

Bob Brookens encouraged anyone with an instrument to play and march with the Rube Band.

Next Tuesday’s meeting will include more preparation for the festivities. Food preparation will take place Wednesday at the elementary school.
