LIBERTY, NY (June 2, 2011) – The Annual Liberty Memorial Day Parade had a full contingent of community organizations, fire trucks, antique vehicles and even a marching band.

As families lined the sidewalks of North Main Street in the Town of Liberty, the village police stopped traffic and the parade, sponsored by the Greater Liberty Chamber of Commerce kicked off.

In previous years, the parade marched north. This year, it marched south toward the end point near the Liberty Veterans Cemetery where a ceremony was to take place immediately following the parade.

Proudly marching were Girl and Boy Scouts, police cars and fire trucks, ambulance vehicles and antique cars, WWII Army Jeeps and the Knights of Columbus. Little League teams, dignitaries, tractors and policemen, and of course, Veterans of the Armed Services made an appearance, all cheered on by the very enthusiastic, flag-waving crowd.
