With the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade now just days away, committee members and guests are gearing up to participate and have a float load of fun.
Dave Ellis, St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade chair, said that while it has been hectic, the parade planning is going as scheduled. “It’s a hectic period, doing this without rehearsals, but, yeah, I think we’re on track,” Ellis said.
According to notes written out by Ellis, at the time of publication there were 180 entries, approximately 2,500 participants, more than 150 motorcycles and 330 other vehicles. They also have six high school bands and 20 other musicals groups scheduled to participate.
The parade is on Harper Avenue this year. It starts at Ridgeway Street and goes all the way to 11 Mile Road. Ellis wanted to emphasize the starting point on Ridgeway. “There’s always confusion about that every year,” Ellis said. See PARADE on page 8A
