The Argentine Betterment Corporation celebrated Silver City Day with a parade and festival. The parade moved east on Strong Avenue from 36th to 24th Street, with the festival in Emerson Park on 29th Street.
The weather started cool and sunny, warming to the 70s as noon approached. The smell of sizzling meat and frying tortillas wafted across the park, along with live music from local bands at the gazebo.
Marching bands from all five Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools high schools participated in the parade, and the Harmon, Sumner and Wyandotte bands played songs in the park, including a fun showdown between the Wyandotte and Sumner drumlines.
