The toddler sitting curbside in a stroller waved the U.S. flag energetically as the annual Veterans Day Parade moved past on Saturday, Nov. 4.
Along the route, those in the sparse audience stood as Scouts passed with the colors.
And the gray skies did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of spectators and those in the parade. The forecast showers held off for the 22nd annual parade.
The route started at Alameda Drive and ended a bit over a mile away in downtown Ontario.
The parade is hosted by American Legion Post 67 in Ontario.
