Because of the incertainty of how Hurricane Arthur would affect the Friday morning weather, the parade officials postponed the parade for 24-hours. So, all the floats queued up on Front Street during the mid-morning hours of Saturday amid blue skies and perfect weather. There was a good crowd, and the CCTPP members sitting on our float (pictured below while waiting in the queue) dispensed a lot of candy to the kids. From the fixed kiosk on Courthouse Square, Diane also dispensed miniature flags and pocket constitutions.
Here’s hoping next year’s parade goes off as scheduled, with even bigger crowds.
