Kenny's Death

 * During the parade (which happens during the credits), a tree falls and crushes Kenny, killing him.
 * During the episode (before the credits) Kenny has many situations when it seems like he's dead but is actually okay. When the townspeople were rioting a car flipped over and crushed him; he just came out the door of the car unharmed. When Officer Barbrady kicked Kenny on the swing who hit a brick wall, he was okay. When shot in the shoulder, he still remained okay. Stan always started saying his usual phrase when it seemed like he was dead by saying, "Oh my God, they killed –" but finishing with "oh nevermind" when he realized Kenny emerged unharmed. This occurs twice. Eventually he says, "Oh my God, they killed... Goddammit!" when he recognizes that Kenny is surviving these experiences.

Hidden Visitor(s)

 * When the camera is panning the petting zoo, the visitor is seen petting a horse.
