Hundreds of community members joined in celebrating the 2022 Homecoming Parade on Oct. 6. With over 25 vehicles, four Toledo police cruisers, one Toledo ambulance, four Toledo fire trucks, and dozens of walking participants making their way through downtown Toledo. The local businesses, community services, and citizens of Tama County hyped up the Trojans football team for Friday night’s game.

Eleven floats made the journey to the STC High School. Some suffered balloon casualties along the way as they drifted through the air. Even the high school and middle school bands marched through the streets, dooting and drumming their Trojan Pride. And there was enough candy to go around for all the kids.
