Even rabid bats love a parade. This one showed up to the July 4 parade route in Greeley early. Officials are looking for anyone who may have come in contact.

Denver 7 is reporting that a bat that was found crawling in the grass along the route of the 4th of July Greeley Stampede parade has indeed tested positive for rabies. The bat was found around 7:30 a.m. near 10th Avenue and 13th Street.

Health officials are encouraging any person or pet that may have come in contact with the bat to call the Weld County Health Deapartment - 970-304-6415.

They note that though ALL bats do not carry rabies, those that are out in daylight, acting strange, acting agressively or lying on the ground, are probably sick with rabies.
