November 18, 2010 (El Cajon)--The 64th Annual Mother Goose Parade presented by Cox Communications will march down Main Street in El Cajon this Sunday, November 21 at 10:00 a.m. This San Diego favorite is the largest parade in the County and the biggest of its type west of the Mississippi. The parade features over 100 colorful entries from cities throughout the United States. Spectators will be treated to a line-up of spectacular floats, marching bands, equestrians, clowns, giant helium balloons, specialty vehicles and Santa Claus.
This year’s Grand Marshals are members from both the Northern La Mesa, California team and the Monterrey, Mexico team that played in the historic 1957 Little League World Series Championship. In that game, a talented La Mesa team encountered a storybook group of boys from Monterrey that made history. Angel Macias Barba, the Monterrey pitcher who threw the only perfect game in Little League history and his team mate Jose Maiz Garcia will join Jerry Wilson, Lew Riley, Tom Blackwood, Bob Brown, Joe McKirahan, Dick Gowins, and Leonard Tobey from the La Mesa team in the Mother Goose Parade this Sunday.
