CHEESEBURGER ANYONE?
Parade of Fools Kicks Off Final Weekend!

11th Annual Cheeseburger In Caseville Festival!

August 15, 2009
By: MyBayCity Staff


If you've never been to the Cheeseburger in Caseville Festival, you definitely must experience it. Wednesday was the popular Parade of Fools and our cameras were there to capture the "Margarita ville" atmosphere to bring back to our readers!

Approximately 60,000 people showed up for the parade and flooded the streets of Caseville with Mardi Gras beads, cheeseburgers and maybe an occasional beer or two! The smell of cheeseburgers infiltrated every step you took through town. I just could not wait to sink my teeth into a yummy burger and that I did!

The schedule of events for the rest of the festival this weekend are listed below as well as the winners from the parade!
