Everyone loves a parade!
Shirley, Indiana, had reason to celebrate Aug. 16, 2008. It was the 18th Founders Day Celebration, and it all started with a parade down Main Street. The town of nearly 900 people had a bike rodeo, and the annual fish fry among other events along with several yard sales in the community to complete the day. It was a great day weather wise. The small town, near Anderson, Indiana, between State Route 234 and State Route 109, has Main Street as the boundry between Henry and Hancock counties, meaning students are friends, but yet the children go to different county schools.
This town is representative of the other small towns around it, with signs of stabiity and pride in their community.
