WILLIAMSTOWN â Nathan Foucher was well prepared to celebrate Independence Day.
The three-year-old Williamstown youngster was decked out in a patriotic tyrannosaurus rex t-shirt carrying a red balloon, anxiously waiting for the local July 4 Hometown Parade to step off.
âHeâs been asking about the parade and fireworks for days,â said the boyâs mother, Michaela Foucher.
The Fouchers were among the hundreds â three and four people deep in some spots â who lined the parade route, thrilled the star-spangled celebration had returned after a year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
âPeople were anxious for the parade, to get things back to normal,â said Commander Thomas Webb of Williamstownâs American Legion Post 152.
