It wasn’t a big parade but a small procession
which marched from the new municipal complex to Joyce’s Bar on Second Street
and did a good job of kicking off the Bicentennial in Kaukauna. To the tune of
“Yankee Doodle” the parade stopped at Joyce’s Bar where the VFW color guard
assisted in setting the flags in place. Mayor Robert LaPlante made a short
address, and the VFW fired three volleys.
