I’ve been attending the Ypsilanti Fourth of July parade pretty much every year I’ve been in town since I moved here a dozen years ago, and I always find it to be good-time. Sadly, I never followed through on my idea/suggestion for an area blogger float which I suggested last year. Maybe 2011?
Anyway, I have been a loyalist about attending the Ypsilanti parade, and as a result, I’ve never seen the Ann Arbor version. I’ve always wondered what could have been?
But not this year, my friends! The Ypsilanti parade, the 81st annual (according to this Ypsilanti Courier ), will be on Saturday morning (starting at 10:30, I believe), while the Ann Arbor parade, merely the 20th annual, will be held on Sunday late morning.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to attend both parades this year or not, but I like the idea that I could.
Alas, I only went to the Ypsilanti parade, which was pretty much the same as it always is. Anyone make it to Ann Arbor or do anything else over the holiday?
