We are from Johnstown , Pa. instead of going to the local car shows , my wife & I decided to come to the Ford City Labor Day Parade. "very good choice" My contact person was Joe , He was a great host, made us fill very welcome.. The cars were very nice and the people in your town was very friendly, The food was "yum! yum". And your town knows how to put on a parade. Thanks for a get day in Ford City, (Rudy & Liz Kotor).
