100 local and regional entries in 50th Canfield Fourth parade
CANFIELD
Eleven-year-old Rylee Manley is well aware that timing, pacing and a sense of rhythm are key ingredients for successful dancing in any genre.
Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to display those qualities when it comes to filling part of a parade route with bubbles.
“I liked throwing candy and the people, and having fun,” the Canfield girl said, referring to her favorite parts about participating in Saturday’s 50th annual Canfield Fourth of July parade.
The 90-minute parade had nearly 100 local and regional entries, including a pipe-and-drum band from Euclid, noted Clare Neff, a parade committee member.
Rylee, who has spent about six years taking dancing lessons at Canfield-based Stage Left Dance & Theater Arts Academy, also brought a bubble-blowing machine to be part of the one-mile parade, which began at the Canfield Fairgrounds and traveled on South Broad Street (state Route 46).
