Clarence Bicentennial Weekend (1808-2008)
Monday, July 28, 2008
Beautiful day. Bright sunshine, thin wispy clouds, and a large throng of spectators lined the 2 mile parade route along Main St. from Clarence Central High School to the Clarence Town Park.
There were decorated floats, drum and bugle corps, bands, dance groups, antique cars, fire trucks, and and more.
Great day for the kids as many of the groups tossed candy and treats to the youngsters.
It was also a good day for political candidates as as they passed out campaign literature along the route during the parade. I am happy to say that Dan Ward, Democratic Candidate for the 61st District Senate seat, stayed at the Town part to speak with voters and answer questions. Many of whom were surprised that he stayed after the parade.
Congratulations Dan and congratulations Clarence. I don’t think I’ll be around for your Tri-Centennial.
