BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR 4TH OF JULY PARADE IN YPSILANTI!

It was a beautiful day for a parade today in Ypsilanti! The sun was out, the breeze was cool, and nary a soul who attended the event left disappointed. Indeed, a pleasant time was had by all.

The 87th annual Ypsilanti 4th of July parade, sponsored by the American Legion and assisted by the Ypsilanti Area Jaycees, happens to be Michigan's longest running Independence Day Parade. The parade began at the reasonable hour of 11am, and began at the corner of Oakwood and Cross Street. The parade ended at Rice Street in Depot Town. The parade featured over 50 participants. Well done parade organizers and participants!
