CARLTON – The Town of Carlton is celebrating its 200th anniversary on Saturday with a parade down Route 98 and a party at the town park.
The parade starts at noon at Park Avenue and Route 98 and heads south to the Carlton Rec Hall. Participants are welcome to begin staging for the parade at 11 a.m. Participants don’t need to register and can show up at 11, said Brenda Mufford, one of the bicentennial celebration committee members.
Carlton welcomes floats, tractors, classic cars, sports teams and other participants for the parade.
After the procession down 98 there will be food trucks, a bounce house and bands at the town park behind the Rec hall. The bands include Coupe de Ville and Son Henry Band.
There will be hot dogs, pizza, an ice cream truck and other food available. The Carlton Fire Company also will have fire trucks available to see up close.
“We’re hoping for a good turnout and that everybody has fun,” Mufford said.
