Here’s the second batch of photos from today’s great parade.
A third set — including the very moving ceremony on Veterans Green — will come in a few hours. Right now, I’m heading to one of the many parties in town. I’m off the clock!

No, this truck was not part of the parade. Minutes before the start, it stalled on Riverside Avenue. The parade kicked off right on time, though. (Photo/Frank Rosen)
Whether the Sunrise Rotary Club asked for a color-coordinated vehicle to advertise their upcoming Duck Race is unclear. But it sure looks cool. (Photo/Mark Mathias)]

Seeing this crowd watching from above Capuli restaurant reminded Russell Sherman of his days as a kid here. Youngsters watched from atop buildings on the Post Road and — when the route went another way — Main Street. (Photo/Russell Sherman)
The RTM is supposed to announce all upcoming meetings. So this may have been illegal. But it sure was fun. Other RTM members marched with the Suzuki Band; League of Women Voters; Rotary Clubs; soccer, baseball and lacrosse teams — and probably others. (Photo/Will Haskell)

Well deserved Dan and Happy Memorial Day to you!🇺🇸
Dan, Sometimes your posts make me a little homesick! I certainly recognize all those places. Have a wonderful Memorial Day to you and all your readers and hopefully soon, I can come back to town. Once a Westporter, always a Westporter!
Great coverage. I feel as if I were there:-)
Happy Memorial Day Dan and all.
Enjoy all the festivities .
Couldn’t ask for better weather ☀️🇺🇸
