Although quite a chilly day for July, the rain held off and the Big Top Circus Parade and Downtown Baraboo Celebration on July 27th came off very well, with many thousands of people lining the streets of my hometown to watch an old-fashioned circus parade, complete with elephant, marching bands, circus wagons, and mounted units. The Wisconsin Morgan Horse Club had a booth on the square, the star of which was Vicki, an 11 month old filly, who lives with Barb Holder and LUVS Morgan Rescue. Vicki drew many folks to the booth, and volunteers answered lots of question. The Morgan Parade Unit, human and equine, also looked great and performed like the professionals that they are. While the parade has had to be on hiatus during the pandemic, we are hopeful it will return in 2022.
