Thereâs good news and bad news about the Fourth of July.
The good news is that the town intends to have a full paradeâstarting at the former Henry T. Wing School and making the traditional loop through Sandwich Village and back to the school.
The decision, which was made unanimously by the Sandwich Board of Selectmen Thursday night, May 20, was not the recommended course of action from Town Manager George H. (Bud) Dunham.
Mr. Dunham had suggested, at the beginning of the meeting, that the parade be restricted to vehicles only and be carefully orchestrated by the police and Sandwich Recreation Department personnel. He also suggested the parade be held at 1:30 PM to allow churchgoers to worship and then attend the parade.
