The day of the parade had nice weather making everything fall into place well. The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parade Committee was appreciative of Mr. Dethrow, Ms. Bowden, and BES Principal Ms. Gina Smith for allowing it to use the school facility and grounds for the parade check-in and the line up. It was also appreciative of the Hardeman County School Board for granting overall permission as the committee continues to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy each year.
