Description:
- Fifty years ago, the weather forecast showed rain ahead of the July 4 parade.
- “A downpour and gray skies threatened to postpone the day’s activities until the July 8 rain date,” states an article in the Reformer back then.
- Organizers decided to go with forward with the celebration anyways and the rain held off. The event was deemed a big success.
- The same could be said for Tuesday, when a drizzle at about 10:05 a.m. prompted people to pull their umbrellas out as the parade made its way down Main Street. But for the most part, attendees of By the People: Brattleboro Goes Fourth stayed dry as they celebrated the town’s 50th annual Independence Day before activities and fireworks at Living Memorial Park.
