It will again turn west and travel along Main St. to the Windsor High School administrative parking lot, where the parade will end.
Main St. will be closed from 11th St. east to CO 257 from 6:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Monday, Sept. 4 to accommodate the parade. During this time, vehicles parked along the parade route will need to be relocated.
