Smooth The Way For The Parade

To the Editor:

August is flying by, which means it’s almost time for the Great Newtown Labor Day Parade. I believe it is the largest in the nation.

This will be my third year to march with the VFW Post 308 Ladies Auxiliary. I feel it to be a privilege to be a part of the VFW and show my support for all of our military personnel.

Last year I twisted my ankle in a large crack on Queen Street and fell. Aside from being embarrassed, I had a pretty nasty scrap and bruised my hip.

In the interest of the safety of all the participants of the parade, I would like to request that all the holes and cracks along the parade route be fixed/filled. I’m sure everyone would greatly appreciate it.
