Unity in the Community parade draws crowd today

YOUNGSTOWN

The whoop of a police siren and gleeful shouts of “I see it! I see it”! announced the start of Warrior Inc.’s annual Unity in the Community parade.

Gray skies and sprinkles didn’t keep people from lining Market Street Saturday.

They stood under the awnings of buildings or held umbrellas, and just as the parade started, they were rewarded with sunshine.

Kids and adults collected candy, water bottles, lanyards, beads and information from the various community businesses and organizations making up the parade.

“We come here every year, for the past nine years,” said Cora Harris of Youngstown. “It’s something for the kids to do.”

Harris brought her six children. All clutched plastic bags for candy.
