The annual Woollybear Festival occurs every mid-October in Vermilion, Ohio. The one-day, family event, which began in 1973, features a woolly bear costume contest in which children, even pets, are dressed up as various renditions of the woolly bear caterpillar. The festival was the brainchild of legendary Cleveland TV personality Dick Goddard, longtime weatherman at WJW-TV.[1]

The parade in 2006 was expected to involve 20 marching bands, hundreds of animals, 2,000 marchers, and over 100,000 spectators.[2]
