Parade draws a patriotic crowd in Grafton

Grafton’s Independence Day parade on Saturday, July 2 — the kickoff of its Holidaze celebration — drew a patriotic crowd to downtown that included two boys dressed in all things red, white and blue (top left) and Chris and Hannah Gutzman, who wore matching outfits (middle right). The Grafton Education Association was well-represented in the parade (top right) as was the American flag, which was carried by football players. At the end of the parade, members of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band treated spectators to a special 5th Quarter performance in Paramount Plaza.
