Around the Fourth of July the town of Herrick celebrates with a three weekend event. After not holding it last year, they were able to host the Herrick 4th of July celebration again in 2021. One of the big draws is the parade. Brent Wallace, one of the parade coordinators, says there is a $500 prize for best float.
The parade has been going on for several years, which has allowed some participants to get better over the years. According to Wallace the VFW float sticks out.
Wallace says the parade and the 4th of July event as a whole mean a lot to the Herrick community.
The three day event takes place at Wallace and Carroll Park in Herrick. Wallace appeared as a guest on Cruisin’ 98.3 WSVZ during live coverage of the event.
