Thousands were in Wakarusa Saturday for the annual pet parade, held in conjunction with Sidewalk Days. The parade featured the NorthWood High School marching band and youngsters in categories like best child with rabbit and best cowgirl 15 or under with pony or horse, that are only known in Wakarusa. Beth Huffaker and Lisa Schurr brought an “invisible dog” to the parade and, although it didn’t win a prize, could prompt the selecting of yet another category for next year’s parade.
