Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Suffrage Centennial Car Parade rolled on Saturday afternoon.

The Centennial Suffrage Society worked alongside the IUPUC Constitution Day Committee and IUPUC student groups to invite organizations, businesses and others to consider decorating a vehicle and participating in the event which will travel from IUPUC to Mill Race Center.

Members of the suffrage society were Holly Karr, Toni Pirtle, Amy Thomas, Betsy Siegman, Stephanie Carmer, Lesley Bradley, Pamela Morris, Cate Hyatt and Cinde Wirth.

The event was meant to be the safest, socially-distanced way to mark the anniversary,  Hyatt said.
