Organizational History
The "Big Parade" was an army caravan that toured Utah from April 15-27 to sell war bonds in the national Second War Loan Campaign. The parade traveled through almost every city and county in Utah. Utah's goal was to raise $50,000,000 in bond sales but exceeded that by over $1,000,000.
