The sidewalks were lined with people in Downtown Monroe on Thursday night.  As part of their homecoming week activities, Monroe Area High School put on a cheerful parade with floats presented by each class to add color and pep.  Leading the parade was Principal, Bryan Hicks, and followed up with Monroe Area's ROTC Unit.  

Along with the Marching Hurricane Band and Carver Middle School's Marching Wildcats, the Purple Cane' cheerleaders and football players got a break from their normal practice and daily routines to participate in the excitment.
