Hailey’s pandemic Fourth of July Parade wound three miles through Hailey’s neighborhoods on America’s 244th birthday to allow spectators all the social distancing elbow room they wanted.
Parade participants seemed to relish the opportunity to honor the nation’s birthday and the health care workers and essential workers who have served the Sun Valley area through the coronavirus pandemic.
If you missed the parade…or if you miss many of your friends and neighbors who were in the parade…join Eye on Sun Valley’s Karen Bossick as she takes you there in today’s video.
