Parade draws big crowd Downtown
Early in the week it looked like Wednesday’s Veterans Day parade was either going to be a washout or a rain-soaked affair. Even Wednesday morning the skies were still gray.
However, about an hour before the 11:01 a.m. start, the skies cleared and thousands of people who lined Water Street and Bay Street enjoyed a parade that included local high school bands, a few elected officials and dozens and dozens of current and former members of the military.
