OLD LYME — The weather was kind and so the crowds came out in Sound View to celebrate the Fourth of July.
And celebrate they did with a grand parade through the streets of this wonderful neighborhood that borders Long Island Sound.
They came on bikes…
They came in (appropriately decorated!) golf carts.
The Old Lyme Board of Selectmen came …
Veterans from Lyme-Old Lyme Post 1467 — David Griswold at front, center of photo — came …
Uncle Sam came in a golf cart …
He also joined the cheerful marchers …
The Emergency Services came …
In fact, the whole community came — led by the tuneful Sound View Band …
Even this colorful little guy came!
And the event ended with the contest results being announced by the ever-smiling Frank Pappalardo and Gail Fuller.
