Sunday, October 1, 2006, was a picture perfect day with blue skies and temperatures in the 80s. Again, a crowd gathered to watch the parade led by the Color Guards from the Rutland, Forman and Lidgerwood American Legion and VFW Posts, that commenced at noon when Rodney Erickson performed a fly-over in an F1F Pitts acrobatic biplane. More than 75 units took over 30 minutes to pass by the reviewing stand where Dollar Bill Smith announced them, and, again Chad Loomis of Lisbon radio station KQLX described them to the radio audience. Those watching were deluged with candy tossed out to the crowd by the parade participants.

By the end of the day, all the sandbakkels, krumkake, rosettes and the 4,278 lefse prepared and packaged in the last month were gone. The car show, antique tractor exhibition, the pioneer crafts and skill demonstrations and craft booths all enjoyed record attendance. Musical groups and individual performers, including the six members of the Ole Olson Trio from Veblen entertained throughout the day.
