PLYMOUTH — Marshall County Prosecutor Nelson Chipman wore a different hat at the meeting of the Plymouth Board of Works and Safety at their Monday meeting.
Donning the tri-cornered hat of the Colonial Era, Chipman asked the Board to close South Michigan Street on July 4 of the coming year for the America 250 committee to host another event — a parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Chipman told the Board the parade would start at Webster School and head north along Michigan Street, turning at LaPorte and ending at River Park Square in downtown Plymouth. He said the event would coincide with the normal closing time of the Farmers Market and could include other activities that day in the park, but the Committee hadn’t planned any as yet, waiting for approval for the road closure from the Board of Works before any further planning.
The theme of the parade will be the Declaration of Independence and the era of it’s signing.
The Board unanimously approved the request.
