On Saturday morning, Sept. 16th, the annual Greentree Parade made an appearance on the astounding streets of Kirkwood. The Greentree parade is all about community. The community coming together to celebrate those walking in the parade. Each float driving by is an important company involved in the community and promotes all people to get involved. Lily Salter, sophomore, at Kirkwood High School shared her thoughts about the parade.
“I thought the parade was fun to watch,” Lily Salter stated. “Everyone who was involved looked like they were having a great time.”
The smiling woman, sitting in the Kirkwood Times newspaper convertible, waves to the people.

"A friend of mine's son was sick, and we knew he wasn't going to make it. I made a handful of these little smiles, [and gave it to the family.] I said maybe you can hold on to [them] until you get your smile back. [The family] said 'it would be very selfish if I didn't tell you to do this for other people.'"
