Memorial Day Parade Lengthens Route; Shady Oak Loop Added

MAIN STREET— Marchers will pass the veterans' wall twice this year—once for gravity, once for the ice-water table. Drum major Pelican keeps tempo like a metronome with overtime pay.

Grand marshal’s convertible borrowed from the dealership shines; small hands will smudge the fender anyway. Nobody minds—we prefer fingerprints to polish.

Remember why the flags fly; stay for potato salad in the park. That's the program.
