MAHANOY CITY – Fire sirens blared and horns honked for all kinds of celebrations Saturday afternoon in Mahanoy City, all part of a Celebration Parade orchestrated by the Mahanoy City Fire Department.
The parade began at 3:00pm heading eastbound on Centre before winding its way down each east-west thoroughfare in town.
Blake Brassington, 4, of Mahanoy City came out with a sign asking passersby to honk in celebration of his birthday.
Blake and his family made sure to see the parade from various intersections of Main Street.
Along the parade route, homes were adorned with decorations for birthdays and graduations.
