The LVFD is central to the fireworks display, with the Laurel Fireman’s Association raising funds throughout the year and the fire department executing the launch of the spectacular pyrotechnics show. In their post, the department explained why the show will be leaving Thompson Park.
Christmas Parade / Pearl Harbor / Winter Market / Tree Lighting …
It was a lot of fun joining with Council, the Mayor, and the “Big Guy” (Santa) for this year’s Christmas Parade. One of the highlights for me was the community groups that come out to participate in the parade, this year including the American Legion Riders, the Laurel Boys & Girl Club Wildcats, neighborhood families with angel costumes, our emergency response teams at Laurel Volunteer Fire Department and Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad, and more. If you’ve thought about entering your group into one of the City’s parade, let me be an encouragement to you to do it – it’s a lot of fun and a great way to share! 🙂
Right before the parade, I was also honored to join with the American Legion Post 60 Color Guard to mark the remembrance of ‘a day that shall live in infamy’, the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941. Thank you to John Musgrove and the Guard for bringing solemnity to the memory of those who sacrificed for our country that day.
