%\ '$9,' +$=/(',1( 6WDII :ULWHU A group of Rochester mothers and their children celebrated Independence Day a little early with a “stroller parade” at Manitou Park Thursday, June 29, featuring strollers decked out in red, white and blue streamers, ribbons and balloons. The group, known as the “Rochester Stroller Gang” on Facebook, have been meeting at the park once a week in the summer months for two years, after founder Alesha Shepherd discovered a similar group in Texas. “I thought, ‘we need to do this,’” she explained, especially in light of “having a toddler, a newborn and being stuck inside all winter. It was time to get out of the house.” So, she reached out to other mothers of young children in her neighborhood, many of whom are also members of Fulton County

Mothers of Preschoolers (featured in the June 28 Shopping Guide News) and the “gang” was formed. The group meets at 9:30 a.m. every Thursday to enjoy coffee and cookies before Shepherd reads a Christian devotional to attendees to keep them inspired. They then commence a 30-minute walk around the park and surrounding area, during which the ladies catch up and socialize. On this particular day, the group rounded out the morning with a visit to the park’s splash pad, a fitting end as temperatures were already into the 80s. The moms aren’t the only ones who socialize. Brittany Brandenburg noted that along with “being around other moms, who are in the same season of life,” their children also benefit from interacting with other children, including some older children who are out of school, and joined the fun.
