It was another Old Settlers’ Day weekend in Marion with class members gathering for reunions.

Sponsored by Marion Kiwanis Club, the theme of this year’s parade was “Boy Scouts: 100 years of Scouting” with local Boy and Girls Scouts participating.

Float participants included those classes celebrating reunions, high school classes, churches, and community entities.

Following the parade, Kiwanians served a picnic lunch in Central Park. Traditional Old Settlers’ Day games were played, Marion High School band performed, and classes were introduced.

Next year’s celebration will be the 100th-year for Old Settlers’ Day and Marion’s 150th anniversary. Special events are being planned throughout 2011, culminating at the September celebration.
