Floats shine during Tiblow Days parade
The Bonner Beautiful Commission was super about their recycle float in the parade.
August 23, 2008
Steven Vaught, 12, of Bonner Springs, had a headful of silly string as he and his dog "Mia" watched the parade along Oak Street. Parade clowns had sprayed his head.
The Super Slide at the Tiblow Days carnival was just super for Gracia Mumbeny (left), LAnce Guess and Gradi Mumbeny of Kansas City, Kansas.
Despite some early morning sprinkles, Saturday's events for Bonner Springs's yearly Tiblow Days festival got off to an enthusiastic start as people lined the streets downtown to watch the parade.
With the sound of marching bands making their way through the streets, cheers filled the air as floats decorated in various themes started as Nettleton and Morse streets and made their way south to Oak Street.
Following the parade, trophies were given out to the top float entries.

Point of View
The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?
“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”
