Worthington Bicentennial Homecoming Weekend Parade

This footage of the complete Worthington Bicentennial Homecoming Weekend Parade was filmed near the announcer’s tent, at the intersection of High Street and Dublin-Granville Road in downtown Worthington. The Homecoming Parade celebrated the previous 200 years that have shaped the community of Worthington, beginning with its founding in 1803. There were 57 entries in the parade, including community organizations, neighborhoods, institutions and corporations. Their parade floats highlighted historic moments in the community. The Bicentennial Wagon Train, a collaborative project of Worthington and State of Ohio's Bicentennial Commission, led the Homecoming parade through Worthington. A start time of 10:03 a.m. was chosen for the parade in recognition of Worthington's founders' arrival date to their new home in the Ohio wilderness (October 1803, or 10-03). Following the parade, the Wagon Train units were on display at the July 5th homecoming celebration at the front lawn of Thomas Worthington High School before continuing their trek across the State of Ohio.
