Rainfall Fails To Dampen

Springfield Parade Spirits

The 101st Springfield Fourth of July Parade happened this morning in a warm drizzle, but failed to douse smiles along the parade route. Clockwise from top, Rosie the Polka-Dotted Clown (aka Abby Koutnik) had the right sign, but Mother Nature ignored it; among those cheering on the parade route were Albert and Christine Weiss' visiting grandchildren – Claire Payne, 8, center, flanked by Maya, 6, and Ryan, 10 Squires; as usual, retired SUNY President Alan Donovan was along the parade route (his wife, Anne, was a judge) and SUNY Dean Susan Turrell. Below left is Velma Armstrong, Pierstown, who was trying something new at age 84 – she'd never ridden on a parade float, but took up the invitation of the Tanner Hill Herb Farm to promote the Pierstown Grange.
