Old Timers’ Day in Collinwood, sponsored by the Collinwood Beautification Board, was a big success again this year. On Saturday, September 2nd, people flocked to town in Collinwood for the annual parade, then gathered in Ralph Hughes Park to enjoy all the music, food, and fun.
The weather was perfect for the Old Timers’ Day parade. Mr. and Mrs. Old Timer, Smitty Smith and Robbie Dicus, rode proudly in the parade and greeted all the bystanders with a wave and a smile. The parade was filled with antique vehicles, tractors, horses, emergency vehicles, and Grand Marshals of the parade, the Collinwood football team.
Following the parade, the crowd went over to Ralph Hughes Park for the festivities. Live music from Eddie Thompson and Band of Brothers provided great entertainment, and the vendors set up around the park offered all kinds of delicious food and a variety of merchandise.
The Collinwood Beautification Board does a great job every year in planning these events. They are to be commended for their hard work that pays off in a great way for all those who enjoy Old Timers’ Day every year.
