More than 100 people participated Saturday morning in the Temple Historic District Fourth of July Parade, said Alyce Bartley, president of the Historic Preservation League of Temple. Led by the Temple Fire and Rescue antique Diamond T engine, and escorted by Temple Police, the parade started at 9 a.m. at North Ninth Street and West French Avenue. It passed down Ninth Street as far as West Nugent Avenue. “We had a Scout troop … and lots of kids on decorated bikes,” she said. The parade was several blocks long, she said. It included Jayson Parks, dressed as Uncle Sam. “He’s done it for several years,” she said. “We had Granny’s Shaved Ice at the end of the parade. We paid for the first 50 snow cones.”
