CROWN POINT â Eldon and Pauline Strong were all set for the city s Fourth of July parade that started early on Sunday.
The American flag was flying from a spot on the front of their house at Main and Elizabeth streets, adult beverages were readily available, a few family members had gathered and friends who stopped by received at least a hug or maybe two.

The Strongs have been watching city parades go by at their red brick house for some 35 years. I like it that the parade started earlier. It s not as hot as when it s held in the afternoon. And it s nice to see friends I haven t seen in awhile, Eldon Strong said.
