Carrington's Independence Day parade battles rain
There was no "official" fireworks display, but area residents certainly picked up the slack in that department.
Harildstad Tax Service's float was selected as "Best Decorated".
This float from Faith Baptist Church in Carrington was selected as the "Best Use of Theme" by the parade judges.
A shiny red 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 driven by Dennis Swanson was selected as the parade's "Best Vehicle".
Skies were less than ideal, but there was plenty of fresh candy if you were quick enough!
The Annual Independence Day parade, sponsored by the Carrington Chamber & EDC, was a stormy one with rain drenching the parade entries as well as spectators.
Dozens of units participated along a route down Main Street and passed Golden Acres Manor, Bethel Chapel and Trinity Lutheran Church.
Parade judges chose Dennis Swanson's red 1966 Ford Galaxie as Best Vehicle.
This year the parade theme was "America the Beautiful" and Best Use of Theme honors went to Faith Baptist Church.
Harildstad Tax received the judge's top pick for Best Decorated Float.
Judge's picks received Carrington Cash prizes. Other outstanding entries were Carrington Medical Center and Bremer Bank.
Parade judges encountered a difficult time in judging due to the stormy weather. The decorated entries didn't hold up throughout the entire route.
Thank you to all who participated in our parade and all the spectators that lined the route in the downpour.
