“The Grand Marshal of a parade is a person or persons you want to honor at the event,” said Main Street Director Kaylynn Horn. “As we were planning for the parade this year, we thought who better to ask to serve as Grand Marshals than our local frontline and healthcare workers. We appreciate everything they have done and the sacrifices they made during the pandemic.”
