Bicentennial Parade from 1976, which took place in Milford, Massachusetts. Among those who march by are the Milford Youth Militia, St. Mary's Church, the Milford High School Band, and Paul Revere. Afterward, the Milford Youth Militia visits a nursing home and has lunch at Bonanza steak house. State senator Louis Bertonazzi and state representative Marie Parente are also present at the parade.

We just dont have parades like this anymore. Usually it it 3 1/2 minutes of a tiny marching band, a fire truck and assorted odds and ends. The Santa parade is the closest thing to what I remember as a kid. All of the parades were special back then. That said, it is amazing how little Milford has changed in 34 years in that corner of E. Main and Main near Sacred Heart. Reading the description, it mentioned the Bonanza Steakhouse. It brought back fond memories. I was a child so I dont know if the food was actually good or not, but it was a treat to go (and not eat Nonni's homemade Italian food that of course I would kill now to have) as was York's Steakhouse at the mall. Good times! Thank you for posting.

OMG, what a blast from the past! Thank you! I was standing on the same side about 200 feet to the right of this position with my parents and my two younger sisters. I was 11. And wasn't there an appearance by Ronald McDonald - doing magic? And the cutting of the world's largest cake? Or am I confusing my Milford celebrations?
