You should post the parade online to view. I love watching the parade downtown, but also on tv, but forgot to record it. Or when will it air on tv again?

I'm glad Duluth does a parade every year, but driving a trailer down the road with a string of lights is not a float. There are also too many dance groups and bands, there is not a lot of variety.

Good evening News 6! I am very excited to be watching the parade on TV. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it down, I have a cold. Sterling Studio is wonderful, sadly I missed seeing my dear friends Kristen Kroll and McKenzie Taley. Thanks for letting me at least watch through your live broadcast! p.s. George said it would be like this! :)
