  • A 55-Year-Old Tradition: Bob Steffan highlights his special parade entry: a beautifully restored red and gray 8N Ford tractor that he originally drove in Fort Wayne's 1976 Bicentennial parade exactly 50 years ago.
  • Fun at Commons Park: Tabitha breaks down the post-parade festivities, including a 400-hot-dog giveaway, Air Indiana Skydiving, the Jungle Island Petting Zoo, a Silly Safaris reptile show, and a packed lineup of live music leading right up to the spectacular fireworks display.
