Enjoying blue skies and mild temperatures, thousands of residents, neighbors, and friends lined up early to fill downtown Clarkston for the 2014 Fourth of July Parade.
American Legion Post 63 Honor Guard led the parade of local clubs, churches, businesses, political candidates, Clarkston High School band, and other community organizations down Main Street.
After the parade, Fourth of July festivities continued at Clintonwood Park in Independence Township, as well as in parks, churches, and backyards all over the community.
