The 4th of July Parade 2010 - Norwood MA - The Main Event!

Where do I begin to explain a town parade? The way it brings people together, helps them slow down for a day and remember what is really important.

The Fourth of July parade in Norwood MA is an event. It's a quiet event in some ways and so LOUD at the same time. The parade is led by fire trucks and other emergency vehicles from all the local towns. And these guys blow every horn that they have as they slowly ... oh so slowly drive through town. The sound makes such a statement and the townspeople applaude.
(this guy is not a real fire man ... HA!)
And the bands that march come from all over the US and Canada.

But it is the baseball teams ... riding on the floats ... waving at the crows that line the streets that make this parade so special. This is a town parade ... we love our town parade.


Here's a link to a slideshow of images I shot during the parade.
