Mini Westside Parade on the 4th

On the morning of the 4th, a “walk around the block” was led off by several Harley riders, followed by children on foot, riding bikes, motorized toy vehicles, or a wheelchair. Residents of Pleasant St., Satinwood Ln., Woodland Dr., and Walworth Ave. sat on their lawn or driveway to enjoy the mini-parade, which was organized and publicized by Sarah Josten. Ian Stone and his mother Sandra added to the festivities as they played patriotic songs in harmony on their trumpets; “I haven’t mastered playing while walking yet,” joked Sandra. It was a fun way to start off Independence Day.
