MEXICO — The humidity dropped noticeably July 4 in time for the morning parade to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday.
People of all ages, many waving American flags, lined sections of the Main Street sidewalks as sheriff’s vehicles, fire engines, floats and ATVs paraded through the town.
Local nonprofit Community Footprints collaborated with the town to organize the half-mile parade, which was followed by a vendor market featuring a bounce house, cotton candy, face painting and singer Denis Moro over four hours in the Mexico Rec Park off Roxbury Road.
