The Forest Avenue tradition will not see its 57th year, say organizers.
Former grand marshal and Doc Hennigan’s owner Dr. Craig Campbell said, “The COVID-19 situation prevents us from continuing as we have in the past. And the city is not giving out parade permits.” At the moment, state limits on events of any kinds are still 50 people. A spokesman for the mayor’s office confirmed no permits were being issued at this time.
