There is nothing quite like a parade!
On Friday evening, September 22rd, the town of Walkerton will play host to the Grand Parade!
Several units participate in this parade every year to kick off the Falloween Festival weekend. School and community clubs join the many bands, floats, classic cars, motorcycles, antique tractors and drill teams.  Fire Departments, Police Departments and Ambulances will be in abundance as well.


2018 Grand Marshal

  Tom Coomes, Chief Meterologist ABC57
  1.  Growing up in Greene township on the John Glenn / South Bend district line, I’d watch the Glenn bus often drive passed my house while waiting for mine, or not drive passed when they had a snow day and I had school. I’d spent my elementary school years at Greene school and summers at the North Liberty Youth League. I graduated from Washington High School in 2002 and Purdue University in 2006. My career started in Grand Junction, Colorado but since 2011 I’ve worked at ABC 57 News, becoming Chief Meteorologist in 2014. I’m honored to be Grand Marshal of this year’s Falloween parade and waving to some familiar faces.







We  also welcome  our   first Homecoming Court Honorees in Glenn history (1967),    Mr. Jim Place and Mrs. Cheryl (Mattocks) Gunn. ​
