Final Parade Info

We look forward to having a great turn-out for this year's Memorial Day Parade!

A few reminders:
Parade is scheduled for Monday, May 30, 2011 at 10AM!

The WHDPC is in the Third Division and will assemble on Farmington Avenue WEST of Newport Avenue. We are between the Ballet Theatre Company and Hwang's Martial Arts. Please plan to be there by 9:45AM.

Well-behaved dogs on leashes less than 6ft. in length are welcome! Be mindful that it may be a hot day, so plan to carry some water for your 4-legged friend.

This year the parade will highlight the Greatest Generation. So, in addition to wearing your green WHDPC t-shirt, or other kelly green shirt, please consider getting creative and make a pin or sign that respectfully thanks our WWII Veterans.

The parade ends at the Town Hall. For those interested, there will be a brief ceremony immediately following the parade at the West Hartford Veterans Memorial (corner of Farmington Ave. and Main St.).

Join us in the Memorial Day Parade!

Status of the Project

A lot as happened the last couple months with the dog park project, and I apologize for not keeping up with the blog. As you know, the coalition and supports were thrilled with the prospect of a parcel of land donated by West Hartford Place Condominiums (Home Depot, BJ's & Aldi). Unfortunately, their offer has been withdrawn.

A meeting was held last night with the mayor & other town officials to discuss the future of the project. To read an excellent summary of the meeting, please see this article:
