(La Porte, IN) - Rumors of changes to the upcoming 4th of July Parade have been greatly exaggerated.
Some rumblings on social media have claimed that the parade on Tuesday has been canceled due to poor air quality. But that’s fake news according to Drummond Osborn, Kiwanis 4th of July Parade Co-Chair. “Unfortunately, with a flick of the thumb, misinformation can spread pretty easily,” he said.
"From what I understand, looks like the weather forecast should be good, and we'll keep our fingers crossed that the air quality keeps improving."
Air Quality Index levels have returned to normal since being elevated mid-week by smoke from Canadian wildfires.
Osborn added that the flyover by A-10 Warthogs to start the parade is still scheduled to happen at about 10:10 Tuesday morning.
Osborn said this year’s parade looks to be bigger and better. Last year, there were 85 entries. For Tuesday 113 are signed up.
