Click the little gear to change your setting to HD 720 to see best quality. In May 1929 in Painesville, Ohio, they had the Memorial Day Parade and Flower Festival, including the Pageant Queen and her attendants. The parade route goes past the Utopia Theater. This is an original film I own showing this parade. Perhaps some of this little kids are still alive!! (could be). This film has been shown in the Museum of the Lake County Historical Society. This is an original film, owned by me. All rights reserved. This video was produced by Adam Smith, the owner of the original film. Smith is a former Pachyderm Keeper at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. As part of his continuing interest in the history of Northeast Ohio, Smith has also written a book, Adam Smith's Pictorial History of Brookside Park and Cleveland's Public Zoo, from the beginning through the 1970s. He also wrote his memoirs as a zoo tour train driver, night watchman, and animal keeper in a book called My Life in the Cleveland Zoo. Neither book is published at this time. As far as the Painesville parade, if a TV station ever wanted to broadcast portions of it, please contact and I will provide an HD 1080 MOV for you. In this video you will find a piece by Schubert, when the children are dancing. This is Schubert - Scherzo No.1 in B-flat major, D.593. The recording Tom Pascale, provided as music for free download from http://abmp3.com/mp3/schubert-scherzo....
