Though all the entries of the annual Stoddard County Parade were enjoyed, some winners of the parade have been revealed.

The winners include: first place Real Living Young Reality, second place Locust Street Flowers, and third place Central Gardens Residential Care.

Taking the first place spot, Real Living Young Reality took a very fun approach to their entry in the parade this year. Everyone involved with the group could be spotted in their neon yellow tee shirts and possibly dancing along with their music being played from the decorated trailer in front of them. Many people felt compelled to dance a long with the float as the music played throughout the parade.

In second place, Locust Street Flowers had a mock wedding set up showing off their nice arrangement of flowers for any occasion. Riding in front of the wedding scene was one of their delivery vehicles showing who the entry belonged to.

Coming in third place, Central Gardens Residential Care Facility of Dexter had a unique float entry this year. The theme being along the lines of “You’re a Catch at Central Gardens,” a few of the residents were eager to help with the float as they dressed up as mermaids. Some other members were dressed up as pirates to go along with the ship, and King Triton was even among the group.

A lot of time, thought, and effort were put into the floats this year. The decision to pick three winners could not have been easy after seeing all of the floats go through the parade yesterday. The 2012 Stoddard County Parade in downtown Dexter was an event enjoyed by all who came out to see, and also those who could view it live on YHC.

All parade entries were enjoyed, but a special congratulations to these three selected winners!
