The best small town independence day parade in Connecticut! This year it was dedicated to the memory of Peter Minton and his work in keeping the Star Band going. For those unfamiliar with the Star Band, it is a collection of any musicians of all ages and abilities who would like to march in the parade. They have one rehearsal the night before and I think it is safe to say, it has never been the same exact band twice. They are always excellent. Peter left this world way too young, but his family continued the tradition and many of the faithful musicians came out to march.
The ceremony afterwards.
Invocation by Pastor Evan Langlois
Master of Ceremonies: Dave Roberts
