• The Sons of the American Legion held their annual Fourth of July parade in Harveys Lake.
• The parade travels 8.3 miles around the lake with firetrucks, tractors, motorcyclists, and more.
• People set up to watch from their boats or from the beach or on the sidewalk.

The Harveys Lake parade begins with extensive planning; often months in advance, much like any parade. “Our Memorial Day Parade, which was postponed on Memorial Day; will now take place on July 4th for the Sons of the American Legion. We celebrate it on the second anniversary; and it appears to be a lovely day “said Sons of the American Legion member Clarence Hogan.

“Finally, the weather is pleasant. We should have had a memorial day, but Clarence, as always; made the day gorgeous. We are now ready for our march “said parade spectator Kathleen Bardi.

There was decorating, of course. “Just a few pinwheels and some garland with American flag stickers. Every year, he insists on streamers, and wide-open; they successfully circle the lake “Susan Wimmer from Harveys Lake stated.

According to Nathan Cooper, Harveys Lake, “I see a lot of people coming to enjoy the parade; and I see a lot of kids sitting here and getting ready; to enjoy and watch a lot of fire engines; and automobiles and grab some candy.”

Eliza Bliss of Harveys Lake responded, “Getting the sweets”; when asked what they liked best. “The fire vehicles are fantastic. I adore fireworks; and last night I went to the cinema “Nathan Cooper stated.

However, the parade, which featured firetrucks, tractors, bikers, and other vehicles; as it proceeded 8.3 miles around the lake, was; in the opinion of little Nathan, better than the movies.

“Just everyone, I suppose, bringing the neighbourhood together. We’re handing out candy to the kids; and simply enjoying ourselves outside “Kathleen stated.
