Back in the years 1908â€"9â€"10â€"11â€"12, Grimsby became famous throughout the province for the large, original and magnificient parades of industrial, mercantile and calathumâ€" pian floats that featured every Labor Day program of sports and other entertainment. These parades were held under the auspices of the old Grimsby Club that for years occupied preâ€" mises which burned down, that stood where the Temple buildâ€" ing now is. Then they owned and occupled the property now owned by Johnson‘s Hardware, that is where this property gets the name of "club property." The Club went to pieces during the First World War and was never reâ€"organized. This picture of the giant rooster and his clown trainer was taken on parade day, 1909.
