The sun had been peeking through the clouds since the thunderstorms of the previous night, raising questions about whether the weather would disrupt the parade and the subsequent July Jubilee in the town park. It was July 13th, the day of the much-anticipated First Annual July Jubilee Parade, and after a brief delay, the parade proceeded down 5th Ave. The street was filled with energy and excitement.
The parade began with the KPD opening the parade, followed closely by Mayor Wanda Morrison.
The Mayor was followed by two of the many hard-working Kenbridge town employees.
Our State Delegate Tommy Wright and members of the Lunenburg Republican party.
The representatives of Lunenburg Girls Softball, a player, and the league commissioner.
