Yea, we had to take Shelia and Virgil to Lambert's to eat. You can't come all the way to Sikeston and not visit the home of the throwed rolls! We've ate there a few times and there is no way you can leave that place and not be stuffed and taking home a doggie bag!!

This year the theme was honoring our Gold Star Mothers and our flag.
Gold Star Mothers are American women whose children have died in the line of duty while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Cotton Carnival Parade
For the first time ever, the Budweiser Clydesdales were featured in Sikeston's annual parade.
"They are one of the most recognizable corporate icons in the world," said Pete Petersen, hitch supervisor. "Budweiser has been using the Clydesdales for pulling the wagon for 75 years -- this is the 75th anniversary. Ever since the Prohibition was repealed they have been using the horses."
The dalmation on the wagon is "King".
