THE 2012 WILI BOOM BOX PARADE
Rain ended at 7:15am on July 4, 2012, leaving a hazy sun over Main Street for the 2012 parade, which lasted 77 minutes.
Parade Grand Marshal WILI’s Wayne Norman led the parade with WILI’s Frogfest ’05 fiberglass/ceramic frog “the Frogcaster.” The two were dressed like identical twins. The parade featured many new entries, and the old standards like the Willimantic Brewing Company and the Traveling Fish Head Club of Northeast Connecticut.
