Includes footage of downtown Muncie including Walnut Street, the courthouse, Woolworths, the Patterson block, and Youngs Shoes. The parade includes parade floats, the Ball State Band, John J. Pruis, and Cowans Marching Blackhawks. This film originated from WLBC-TV and was (possibly) a part of a segment titled, “Week in Review.” The station was created in 1953 by Don Burton.
