Arts in the Alley: Parades and Horses

In 1991, as horses became a regular addition to Arts in the Alley Parade, it became necessary to deploy a special and critical team called the “Pooper Scoopers”. Those volunteers went about their duties without fan fair but garnered considerable applause from spectators when they showed up with their barrel, shovel and push broom. Band members and walkers appreciated the efforts. Tiny McComb, president of the Heartland Bank, was the first horse drawn unit to participate.
