Bring Your Appetite. The parade will transition into a free community picnic on the lawn of the Town Hall.  Sandwiches, grilled sausages /hot dogs and Kingdom Creamery cones (food sponsored by the Greensboro Association) will be served. Additional home-made delights (for a small fee)will be available at the accompanying Farmers’ Market.
