| Friday Night Activities began with the parade at 6 p.m. The parade route started at the High School and went around the City Park with a good crowd on hand to enjoy the parade entries. Following the parade was the Annual Soldiers Reunion Queen Contest with Tom Robinson of KSOM, Atlantic providing the emcee duties. Mrs. Naomi Ridlen has donated Fostoria pieces to be auctioned off each year, with the proceeds going to the American Legion Post #508. The auction was held while the judges discussed their selection for the 123rd Annual Soldiers Reunion Queen. Following the crowning of the Queen and her royalty a Melodrama called "Switched at the Crossroads" was enjoyed by the crowd. Thanks everyone for all you hard work to make this a success.
