Tradition, Memories at Montrose's July 4th Parade

7/4/2012 (Updated 7:49:43 PM)

Every year, Montrose's big Fourth of July celebration draws people both from Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier-- and lots of other places as well:
?
That's because it's earned a reputation for small town authenticity.
It is a display of traditions often lost in the commercialization of the holiday.
But go to Montrose, and it's like stepping back in time --and even out- of-state residents appreciate that:

John Horwhat, who came from Maryland with his son to enjoy the parade told us, "I think it's a memory they will have the rest of their lives...I remember as a kid going to the parade...the fire trucks going through..."
?
And Mandy Wood and her son, who live in the Montrose area said, "My favorite part is just watching him watching the parade."
?
The Montrose Fourth of July celebration is one of the best attended in the area.
