Instead of riding in the parade, Mayor Wallace Alderman, wearing a fluorescent green vest, helped police direct traffic. He described Arcanum, a village of 2,900 residents, as a "bed and breakfast community, and a good place to raise a family."
The village Web page, www.villageofarcanum.com, termed Arcanum "truly Ohio's best kept secret, a quiet town that is perfect for raising a family."
