Despite some rain, more than 1,500 people crowded the streets of Clarkston to see the Clarkston Rotary Labor Day parade.
“Obviously we wish the weather would have cooperated. That would have made the day more fun,” Rotary president Joel DeLong said. “However the people came out. It shows the community really supports a parade.”
A total of 44 different groups participated in the parade. Local business man Ken Winship served as the grand marshall.
“We had some late entrants join us,” DeLong said.
This is the 63rd year the Clarkston Rotary has put on the parade for the community.
“It went off very well. Our club was very satisfied with the parade. It ran better this year than it did last year for whatever reason,” DeLong said.
