Better late than never, I’d like to post a follow-up report on the mini-parade that took place along East Main Street on Thursday night.
There obviously was no Firemen’s Parade this year, but Lori Allen and her family was undaunted, setting up their parade chairs outside their Main Street home anyway, at what would have normally been parade time (albeit a week late thanks to the monsoon). They handed out free flags to passersby, accepted donations for our first responders, and welcomed visits by officers from the Webster PD and Webster Volunteer FD firefighters.
I wasn’t able to make the festivities, but Lori posted this on her Facebook page:
Not a bad turnout ! Thank you all who stopped and got a lag, beeped your horn and waved, and those who donated! Thank you Webster Police Dept for stopping and also thank you to the Webster fireman and woman for coming as well and to all the firemen THANK YOU for what you do! 
Before the end of the evening, Lori raised $218 through donations from passers-by.
I don’t know exactly who took all these photos, but here are a few from the evening:
Many thanks to the Allen family for reminding us what community is all about.
