Prospect Memorial Day Parade a hit with townsfolk
Traffic on Prospect’s Main Street came to a grinding halt on Saturday afternoon, May 27, as residents lined the street for the annual Prospect Memorial Day Parade and Community Day.
The population of Prospect seemed to triple on this day, with some attending their very first Memorial Day parade in town, and others coming as repeat visitors.
"This is my second [parade]. I enjoyed it very much the first time, so we brought even more friends with us to see it this time,“ said Diane Goehring.
Vehicles and floats began gathering at the intersection of Main Street and Kennedy Road at 9 a.m. The parade kicked off shortly after 11 a.m. with the ceremonial laying of the wreath, followed by the playing of Taps and a 21-gun salute by the Bantam Marine Corps League Detachment #743.
