R November 17, 2011, 11:31 am What is the parade route? I have seen it ends in front of the Court House and now I see it starts east and south of the Methodist Church on 6th street and 2nd avenue and starts at 6 pm. Where does it go from start to finish?
Maybe this is clearer... http://www.vintoniowa.org/articles/News/article105240.html
