PHOTOS: Fun Times At Plymouth On Parade

The 14th annual Plymouth on Parade enjoyed a great turnout and weather Sept. 24.

New and familiar faces were found at the 14th annual Plymouth on Parade event today in the City Center. The parade went along Plymouth Blvd and included marching bands from Armstrong and Wayzata high schools and floats for local businesses and organizations.
