LILLIAN GLAROS

Hundreds of people braved the sun and
heat July 5 for Laurel’s 46th Annual
Independence Day Parade. Fire truck after
fire truck drove by, playing their sirens and
flashing their lights. Organizations such as

American Legion Laurel Post 60 and politi-
cians, including Maryland General Assembly

Senator Jim Rosapepe (District 21), participated as did
scary characters from Laurel’s House of
Horror. Many enjoyed family-friendly activities and food
at Granville Gude Park before the day ended with fireworks.
