Employees invited to parade celebrating midtown and its diversity
It was a hot October day with temperatures in the 90s. Despite the heat, 10,000 men in black bowler hats and suit coats marched through midtown Omaha to what was called “the country.” That was where a cornerstone was being laid at Saint Cecilia Cathedral. The historic parade, 100 years ago, was one of the largest in Omaha history. A century later, on Oct. 6, 2007, a parade along those same streets will mark the event’s centennial.
