Marching bands, parade floats and cheerleaders walked down Meadville Street, cheering on the Fighting Scots.
The JET 24 team also joined in on the parade fun, passing out candy to the young Scots.
Reporter Tyler Gallagher estimated that well over 1,000 people were along the streets of downtown Edinboro, but the celebration didn’t end with just the parade, but with a big football game coming up in the late afternoon.
