Happy Thanksgiving! 1940 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Footage


Happy Thanksgiving!  Vintage Everyday posted this color film of the 1940 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, featuring the first appearance of Superman in the parade.  We here at the SSS wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels. 

I'll be taking my usual post-Thanksgiving break, but I'll be back in December.
