The parade also had Huntington Mayor Kim Wolfe, Miss West Virginia USA, Jessi Pierson; high school bands, homecoming queen and king candidates, fire departments, trucks, cars, floats, and many Marshall organizations. Many were decorated with a Marshall theme.
 
The parade that went up Fourth Avenue to Marshall, turned at 12th Street then turned on Fifth Avenue where it went east and finished at the football stadium.
 
A good crowd lined the parade route with many dressed in green. if someone was looking for candy this was a good place to be because plenty of it was thrown out along the parade route to the delight of children.
