It was short. It was sweet.
It was downright adorable.
Dozens of children, their adult guardians in tow, took to Avenue G Saturday morning to celebrate America’s independence.
The 108th Charlie Korschgen Fourth of July Kiddie Parade in Fort Madison is a tradition that goes back further than any living person can recount. Due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it was a bit smaller this year, too. Many of the activities that surround the parade had to be truncated.
America has never been lacking in personality or tenacity, and those traits were on full display by its youngest citizens. As in past years, the parade was a hit with young and old alike.
