KERANG’s central business centre was a hive of activity on Friday as children took to the streets to parade as characters from their favourite books.
More than 500 people lined the streets to watch the children march in the annual Book Week parade.
Roads were closed to allow safe passage along Albert, Scoresby, Victoria and Fitzroy streets as the primary-school-aged children made their way to Victoria Street, where they gathered to have each book they represented introduced.
Students from Kerang, St Joseph’s, Kerang South and Murrabit primary schools, alongside Kerang Christian College and Gannawarra Shire Children’s Centre, brightened the town with colourful costumes, props and banners.
The Kerang Book Parade has a long and proud history, and this year celebrated its 47th year.
