Sullivan's Travels: Something different for 4th celebration this year
The Friends of the Fourth have announced that there will be no parade this year.
“There are many factors that led to our decision, including the uncertain timeline for the vaccinations, return to larger gatherings, the safety of our parade participants and attendees, and the financial obligations involved in putting on a traditional parade,” the Friends said in a release last week.
“We understand how important this tradition is to many residents and this year, we wanted to offer something for the holiday weekend. We are thinking outside the box, and planning to have a Float House contest with scavenger hunt. The Float House idea came to us from the amazing photos out of New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year.
