Over a Hundred years old it was one of the oldest Parades in the country
Sad that it was so small in 2016
Myself and many other citizens and city workers have worked on this parade over the years. The AFW, Than Commissioner Hughley when AFW Left, after that his Daughter Amber and several other City workers and citizens worked every year to put it together. What has happen is that many of these same people whom did the ground work have left the city they are working in other cities or are retired. This is the reality, the truth is that I could see this coming. The current Mayor has little value of importance to this Parade. So each year I could see less and less coming from his office. The truth is having not grown up in EC he had no Idea of the importance of the parade from a historical stance, and I predict that he will realize this only to late. The parade went on this year with a even shorter route, the homecoming route for those of you who grow up here will know that it goes to the Stadium.
- For My Part I present to you the photos taken by me of this past Memorial Day Parade. For me the greatest thing about the parade is the people, The citizens of this fine city that make up the parade and come out to see it.This years parade put together by our men in blue, many are vets themselves. Work hard daily protecting our streets.
Thank you.
