Memorial Day Parade
I've heard one town (I think it was Harding Township) has canceled their parade. Any decision on Hackettstown's?

Walking Girl If you're subscribed to the PD nixle alerts you would get one if for some reason it was cancelled. But Walking Girl is right - they've marched in pouring rain in the past.

HtownnjWhat time is it actually supposed to be under way ? (Not just line up but the real parade?) weather might break and be ok.

Scottso Our soldiers fought in much worse than rain so bless them and the freedom we have to march, rain or shine!
iRun I was there, standing in the rain. It was much shorter than other years. I guess a lot of groups opted out due to the weather. But it still was a great parade. But there have been years that it was canceled due to inclement weather. Not too often, but I remember at least twice. irun, I agree with you regarding our troops having to fight in much worse weather and then not having a nice warm dry home in which to go afterward. That's why I was there!!
I can remember one year helping to make a huge pile of tissue flowers to decorate the parade wagon for my daughter's Girl Scout troup. It poured rain that year just like yesterday, the tissues lasted about 3 seconds but the girls still marched on.
