We will be sending two floats down the parade route on Labor Day at the Marshall County Blueberry Festival. We rocked the competition last year by winning both the Judge’s and President’s awards for our Fall Fest and Christmas Fest floats. These floats honor the two festivals we host each year at Hensler’s and are decorated to celebrate the seasons. Our plans are to make the 2010 floats even bigger and better- hope to see you on the parade route!
September 25th – October 31st, 2010
