The first Winton Spring Parade was held in 1964, sponsored by the Band Boosters Club of Winton. The above picture was taken in April 1964 of seven high school girls who ran for queen. To qualify, the girls had to be former Winton students and were members of the Winton Band or marching unit. The contestant who sold the most tickets, at 10 cents each was crowned queen the night before the parade. Evelyn Perez was the very first Queen of the Spring Festival.
