The deer, when off the trailer, is 12-feet tall and normally stands in front of the Deer Ranch on west US-2.

Readying to lead the Down Memory Lane Parade Friday evening, members of the Soo Pipe Band convene under an awning to ward off the rain. Pictured are (from left) Ian Graham, John Mackianon, Archie Laidlaw, Andrew Jull, and pipe sergeant Randy McDonald. “Back in the old days, each clan would have a piper in front during ceremonies,” explained Mr. Laidlaw, who was born in Edinborough, Scotland. “This is just the same for the parade.” Readying to lead the Down Memory Lane Parade Friday evening, members of the Soo Pipe Band convene under an awning to ward off the rain.
