The entrants in the parade trickled in slowly before the 11:00 am starting time but then quickly swelled in number as the start time approached.
The children of fallen sailor Jarod Newlove, Jordan and Addison Newlove honored their dad with an appearance and the usual array of bikes, wagons, and dozens of kids in costumes walked the route from Oregon Street (where they gathered first) to Edmunds Street, all as a prelude to the American Legion Grand Parade that followed.
