San Francisco 49er fans were in agreement that this classic car deserved first place. This and other classic cars in the parade were later showcased at the Mohawk Trading Company’s parking lot for the annual car show.

Gigi’s Market is still in a holding pattern for opening, but that didn’t stop owner Ginger Gamble from participating in the parade with this ancient truck.

Evergreen Market sponsored the annual Pedal Car Race with two sets of Indian Valley youth participating in the race — and then driving through the crowd after.

After the parade, it is time to head to the Greenville Methodist Church lawn for the annual ice cream social.
