Dean Martin Bruno Sammartino United States
STEUBENVILLE - The "Living Legend" of professional wrestling will be the grand marshal of the revived Dean Martin Parade scheduled for June 18.
Bruno Sammartino of Pittsburgh will highlight a parade that stopped two years ago because of a lack of funds.
Now Beth Wood, executive director of the Steubenville Convention and Visitors Bureau, is looking for people, organizations and businesses to join the parade that will start at noon in front of Steubenville High School.
"The cost for a parade entry is only $10 and that is to cover expenses. Anyone interested in being a part of the Dean Martin parade can pick up an application at my office in the Historic Fort Steuben Visitors Center or can go online at www.visitsteubenville.com," explained Wood.
"In addition to Bruno Sammartino, the Dean Martin festival organizers have lined up six vehicles with different celebrities, including Deana Martin and her husband and also the Off Key Kazoo Band," said Wood.
"At this point we have approximately 25 entries in the parade including the Big Red marching band. And we are now looking for more people interested in participating in the parade and joining Bruno Sammartino in the parade on Fourth Street," added Wood.
"We are expecting a large crowd for the parade because Bruno Sammartino remains a very popular athlete even years after he retired from professional wrestling," noted Wood.
She noted questions can be answered by calling her office at (800) 510-4442.
The Dean Martin festival, slated June 17-10, is part of the annual Traditions Festival in Steubenville.
