Beason celebrates 150 years with a parade

 

[September 19, 2022] 

Beason kicked off it 150th Anniversary with a parade on Saturday morning. The parade ran directly through the middle of town on County Highway 6. The weather was bright and sunny, and dozens of people gathered along the road to watch the parade go by.

There were also several tents set up with food, which would be popular as activities around town were scheduled all day long, and old tractors lined up for display.

As for the parade itself, it featured fire trucks and ambulances from the surrounding area. There were several vehicles with some of the older couples from Beason riding. There were also representatives of the businesses that operate in Beason and the surrounding communities.

Overall, there was plenty to see as the parade made its way through town.
