The parade lineup for Saturday's Southern Illinois Harvest Festival has been announced.
According to parade organizer Bonnie Jerdon, some entries may be missing from the lineup announced.
"With the Columbus Day holiday on Monday, I'm afraid some entries may not have gotten to us in the mail," Jerdon said. "If anyone isn't in this lineup and they sent in an entry, give us a call. It's not too late to be included."
Anyone whose parade entry is not included in the parade lineup should contact Jerdon at 242-3151.
The parade route will be from Seventh Street down Main Street to 10th Street, go down 10th Street to Broadway, then back down to Seventh Street. The parade begins at 2 p.m., and entries should line up at noon.
