Yesterday morning marked the 70th Annual Centralia Kiddie Parade which brought a wave of young ghouls and goblins, and their families, to the streets of Centralia. There were plenty of unique costumes and floats to be seen, from princesses to witches, and from Elvis to a walking, talking vending machine.
