Parades are fun not only because of the marchers that you get to see but also because, especially in a small town, you may come across quite a few spectators that you know.
In Amherst, since it is a college town, one always runs into some faculty, students, and even a dean.
The Amherst, MA 4th of July parade that took place today is highlighted in the photos above.
