The annual Grinnell 4th of July parade did not pass through the Mayflower campus this year, taking an alternate route due to street construction. That was disappointing after many years of float-cheering and waving.
The Grinnell Lions Club made up for this deficiency by parading their tractors through campus on Broad Street for their annual Ag Appreciation Day event on August 31st. Located just south of downtown Grinnell, residents are often treated to parades and other activities near Central Park.
In the photo, Mayflower residents await the tractors in front of Watertower Square.
