Want to see some Pirates on parade?

Bluffton High School's homecoming parade - we call it the best small-town homecoming parade in northwestern Ohio - lived up to its expectations on Friday.

It had all the elements of a parade - from the American Legion honor guard, to the homecoming court, lots of school organizations on floats, and candy to rival Halloween.

The Icon offers a video and photo album for one last look at this year's parade.
