Students, faculty and staff joined forces on each Columbiana County campus to make a showing at the Salem and East Liverpool parades. Fortunately, the weather was perfect for each event and thousands of area residents turned out to watch.
During the fast-paced Salem parade, Flash and campus representatives greeted parade-goers while handing out candy and Kent State pencils. Flash is always a fan favorite!
For the East Liverpool parade, the campus entered a float representing the 100 Acre Wood with all the characters (Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, Christopher Robin and bees swarming the 鈥渉unny鈥� pot) with, of course, Flash.
This year鈥檚 entry earned the Mayor鈥檚 Choice award and second place in the float category.
Carrying on its traditional 鈥淪eason鈥檚 Readings鈥� theme, the campus handed out nearly 2,500 books to children along the parade route.
