The video above shows a great deal of that very parade. The welcome sign pictured below, pays homage to Fleetwood’s Pennsylvania Dutch roots. It translates to, “Welcome to Fleetwood, over three thousand people reside here.” Did you partake in any of this celebration? Have any memories or photos? Share them! [email protected]
