Downtown Prosser packed for State's Day Parade

Posted: Updated:

PROSSER, Wash. -- Downtown Prosser closed for an hour for the town's 87th Prosser's States Day Celebration and Parade. A tradition that means "when old friends meet" held on Labor Day each September.

States Day dates back to a time when farmers would put down the plow and head into town for an old fashioned family picnic. The parade began at 10am, and then just a few blocks down to City Park, people played games, danced, and as tradition goes registered residents by the state they hailed from.

    One of the exciting parts about the indoor football game is the amount of scoring. But that was not the case on Saturday. The Tri-Cities Fever held the Wyoming Cavalry to a defensive season best, 16 points.
