Big Parade coverage set to kickoff on KTIV

Posted:
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KTIV) -

Sioux City will be celebrating Mardi Gras, soon. And now we know who will lead the 2012 Big Parade for the 4th of July celebration as Grand Marshal.

It's former KTIV news anchor Larry Wentz.

Wentz came to Sioux City in 1990 and worked at KTIV for eight years, before continuing his career at KMEG and KCAU.

He's recovering from a liver transplant in March after a bout with auto-immune hepatitis.

Larry and his wife, Lola, will lead the Big Parade on Friday, July 6th.

The Big Parade begins at 6:45 p.m., and KTIV will be broadcasting it live starting at seven.
