This year the Grand Parade was combined into the Kids
Parade. The colorful medley of floats, bands and entertainers,
began in the 1950's and has become a traditional favorite. It
is one of the few Eastside events officially sanctioned by Seafair.
The whole family came to the Kids Parade. Entrants
chose from one of the costume
categories to decorate their bikes, wagons, strollers,
skateboards, scooters, blades or self to add to the festivities. The
more creative the better! Every child who participated in the 2009
parade and wore a helmet received two dollars courtesy of
Clark, Raymond and Company and Kempf and Company, water bottles from
Evergreen Healthcare, and many other fun giveaways.
