Event organizer, Terry Cockrell, said the Sedalia Heritage Day is a "spin-off of the city's centennial celebration". Last year's celebration involved a block party and car show, Cockrell said, and this year it is a downtown parade followed by a lunch at Hubbard Park with free entertainment and food. "We wanted to provide the community with an event where they are appreciated, it's not east side or west side, it is their own event," he said.
