The Founder's Day Parade in Brooksville on Saturday, October 15th was an outstanding success. Each year this local parade enlarges with the participates, as well as on-lookers. Some of the local individuals & groups that marched in the parade yesterday were very notable to say the least, like our own Sheriff Nugent riding his white horse at the lead of his mounted officers for the HCSO. Bonnie Ruge was also seen marching with her ladies of the Daughter's of the American Revolution right ahead of the Hernando High Band & ROTC units. The Young Marines got a rousing round of applause as they passed city hall and I do believe a few Hurrah's & Semper Fi's were heard from the on-lookers. Rep. David Russell and Commissioner's Schenck & Robinson were leading the parade in some real snazzy, classic cars. Radio station WQYK even had several vehicles riding in the parade passing out candy to the children. Mary Alice Quieros was the Grand Marshall for this very special celebration for the 149th birthday of the City of Brooksville. The City of Brooksville's city council spoke at a large gathering at the conclusion while everyone enjoyed birthday cake & lemonade. This was just the kick-off of Founder's week so stay tuned to more exciting news.
