Thousands turned out in sweltering weather to see parade floats, cars and even Santa. Check out these pictures and add yours!
Thousands of viewers and hundreds of paraders joined together for the annual Fourth of July parade in Stow Wednesday. By the 10 a.m. start time, the temperatures were already approaching 90 degrees. But the show must go on, and it did. It looked as if the entire Stow Fire Department was in the parade, which was probably handy if folks suffered from heat stress. This year's parade was "A Salute to Girl Scouting ... 100 years strong," and appropriately enough the Girl Scouts cookie float was judged the 2012 Best of Parade.
Here's what people along the Stow parade route had to say about being American this Fourth of July.
Happy Fourth of July 2012 Stow! If you missed Patch in the parade, just leave your reason as to why you're proud to be an American in the comments section of this post! Take some awesome photos at the parade? Add them here, please!
