Port Carbon baby parade celebrated Fourth of July the old-fashioned way
PORT CARBON — The Port Carbon Citizens Committee celebrated the Fourth of July the old-fashioned way — a red-white-and-blue extravaganza of floats, marchers and fire trucks. Known as the Port Carbon Baby Parade, the event was held for the 37th year Friday morning in observance of the nation's 249th anniversary. 'This is about tradition,' said Deniece Krater, the committee's spokesperson. 'We're celebrating Independence Day the way we were brought up to do.' Starting on Coal Street, near the Palo Alto bridge, the line of march meandered through the borough to the Port Carbon playground. Pottsville's Third Brigade Band led the parade, playing the National Anthem and other patriotic marches.

Parents pulled youngsters in wagons decorated with red-white-and-blue streamers. An entire division of the parade was devoted to children on bicycles. In all, Krater said, just under 100 children participated in the parade. An antique pickup truck pulled a float occupied by Schuylkill County Fair royalty. The themes of other floats included Peanuts and Charlie Brown, 'Let Freedom Ring' and President George Washington. Pottsville Maroons reenactors in uniform marched in support of the 100th anniversary of the former NFL team's 1925 championship season, to be celebrated Aug. 16 with a banquet at Mountain Golf Course, Barnesville. A team of draught horses from Leiby Carriage Service, Tamaqua, pulled an open air trolley. Pottsville School District majorettes participated in the parade.

'It's nice that the parade gives the majorettes an opportunity to show off their talent,' Missy said. Krater, Pottsville school district's transportation supervisor, coordinates the district's majorette and band front programs. No parade is complete without fire trucks, and Port Carbon's was no exception. Led by apparatus from Port Carbon's Goodwill Fire Company No. 1, units from Palo Alto, Saint Clair, Schuylkill Haven and Pottsville participated in the parade. In keeping with its patriotic theme, the centerfold of the parade's program book displayed an Independence Day timeline. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence took place in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, before a crowd summoned by the Liberty Bell. Every July 4, the Liberty Bell is tapped, not rung, 13 times in honor of the original 13 colonies. The White House held its first Independence Day celebration on July 4, 1801, according to the timeline. Awards were presented to participants following the parade in the borough playground. A list of winners has not been released. Port Carbon continued its Fourth of July celebration with its annual fireworks display Friday night on monument hill overlooking the borough. * Eddie Yeneshosky, left, and Brent Setlock-Yeneshosky, 8, right, ride in an Independence Day parade in Port Carbon Friday, July 4, 2025.

St. Anthony Park celebrates "4th in the Park" with lawn mowers, scouts and 78 years of tradition
For 78 years in St. Paul, neighbors have lined the streets of St. Anthony Park each Independence Day, claiming a patch of grass to take part of Minnesota's longest-running Fourth of July Tradition: Fourth in the Park. Marie Lister grew up attending the parade and now oversees the event and brings the same enthusiasm she once brought as a young spectator. "I grew up in the neighborhood and as a kid the Fourth of July parade in St. Anthony Park was my very very favorite thing to do," said Lister. This year's celebration — like those before — had a colorful mix of marching bands, local floats and a few surprises, including a fan favorite: The Lawn Mower Brigade. "When I took over the parade 10 years ago, I had a bucket list, and bringing back the Lawn Mower Brigade was at the top of my list," said Lister. The brigade, a group of volunteers, dressed in patriotic gear, pushed mowers in synchronized formations along the parade route. "The lawn mower brigade has been a long standing part of that parade," said Jonathan Carter of the Lawn Mower Brigade. "I think people like something that's quirky, a little fun, American, nothing like pushing your mower around on a hot day." They weren't the only ones keeping tradition alive at the Fourth of July celebration. John Ernst, a 98-year-old, 1940s Murray alumni and former trooper in the Boy Scouts, was in attendance. Ernst was a scout in the early days in Saint Paul, his role in the scouts linked him back to the original boy scouts. The years he was a scout overlapped with some of the original group, and now he stands side-by-side with the younger generation of scouts. "He basically links us to the original troop in 1916," said Mike Smith, of the 107th Troop Boy Scouts of America. There were many highlights to this year's Fourth of July celebration in St. Anthony Park but what sticks out the most is the sense of community in this neighborhood. "Even when things feel hard in our country, it's nice to come together as a community and celebrate the way we take care of each other," said Lister.
