Come out for the Columbia Halloween Parade | TownLively

John Meshey has been involved in the Columbia community for more than 45 years, so it's fitting that he's the grand marshal of the 2023 Columbia Mardi Gras Halloween Parade. The parade will step off at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 26.

John, a 1975 graduate of Columbia High School, recalled that he first became involved in the community when he entered a fundraiser to win a prize through the Jaycees when he was 21 years old. "I won one of the prizes, but instead of giving me the prize, they paid my membership dues," he noted. It was the first of many commitments John has made to Columbia over the decades.
