Float makers end long, strange trip
Team was regular parade highlight
By Leslie Gartrell
COLDWATER - After 43 years of fantastical and over-the-top floats in the Coldwater Community Picnic parade, McSober's Saloon and McSports took to Main Street in their collaborative float for the last time on Sunday afternoon.
Romie Schwieterman and Joe Bidlack, McSports owners and previous McSober's Saloon owners, have been creating and parading entertaining floats in the community picnic since 1977, although the two said things really kicked off after they opened McSober's Saloon in 1979. [More]
