FREDERICKTOWN — Cool temperatures and a mild breeze unfurled the flags at the 2025 Tomato Show parade on Saturday.

First responders from the Fredericktown Community Fire District led the way, followed by the presentation of colors and parade marshals David and Patricia Dumbaugh.

Community is a word synonymous with the Dumbaughs, and they have always believed in giving back. Their support includes contributing to the Kokosing Park, Friends of Fredericktown, and the Fredericktown Community Library.

Staunch support of Fredericktown’s athletic programs earned the Dumbaughs the title “Freddie Fan of the Year” in 1999.
