Maryville festival is a crowd pleaser and includes bird-watching

Norma Mendoza,Edwardsville.

The annual Maryville Firemen's Homecoming took place Friday and Saturday with a parade on Friday that was repeated on Saturday.

Children rode in to catch the candy thrown from the floats which illustrated American pastimes. Each float was decorated to represent activities such as sailing, fishing, racing cars, watching Blues hockey, playing basketball, dancing, Zodiac rafting, tennis, canoeing, and bird-watching.

...the weather was ideal for the festival and for bird-watching...
