The Nutter Butter Parade will get underway at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 and follow a Main Street route through downtown Brundidge.

The Nutter Butter Parade is one of the nuttiest parades around. If you are a nut and want to strut your stuff, you don’t have to sign up just line up somewhere along the road that winds from the Piggly Wiggly on back behind the National Guard Armory and get ready to parade. Walking entries my hop in anywhere along North Main Street or from the parking lot of BB&T.

All that is asked of those who participate is that the entry is fun and in good peanut butter taste.

“Among this year’s featured entries will be the Queens of Agriculture including the Turnip Green Queen, Miss String Bean, Miss Bitter Milk and Miss Chit’lin Switch and a whole host of other queens from the farm scene,” Ross said. “The communities in and around Pike County are invited to have entries representative of their history or their character. Entries will include Miss Josie Beat Moonshine, Miss Blue ‘Sprangs’ and, the word is that Banks will pay tribute to the famous country music couple that met there at a medicine show.

And, the talk is that Elvis will be in town. The King of Rock ’n Roll’s favorite sandwich was a PB & banana combination.

There will be mules and wagons, clowns, bands, horses, singers, pets and people of all descriptions, community queens, rides, floats, and things you won’t believe and maybe a politician or two.

Those who want to parade may call 334-735-3125 or just come on and get in line.
