“I grew up right off the square, and we always attended the Fourth of July Parade. When I was 10, I walked in the parade with the Town and Country Shopper Newspaper, which I used to deliver,” Mayor Pete Land said. “Attending the parade is something I look forward to every year, and I am excited to see everyone on the square this year for a great Fourth of July celebration.”
