A program of events in 1900, listed the following events: "The Guthries", a trapeze performing troupe, "Ameta Fire Dancers", Balloon ascension on the Courthouse Square, and a Floral Parade.
The upcoming Floral Parade was described in the September 26, 1900 edition of the Livingston Republican. "The ladies flower parade this year is much more elaborate and handsome than two years ago. The amount of work that the ladies have put on the various rigs is well repaid in the fine display. The skill and taste shown is worth going miles to see. It is by far the finest parade ever made in Livingston County."
