🌟Grand Marshals Announcement!🌟
At last week's Independence Day Kickoff, we had the distinct pleasure of announcing this year's Havre de Grace Independence Day Parade Grand Marshals! Now we want to introduce them to you. 😀

We are thrilled to introduce you to a pair of Havre de Grace Superstars and your Grand Marshals for this year's parade - Bill and Carol McIntyre!

The McIntyres have served our community in so many ways over the years. Carol has been a member of the Friends of Concord Point Lighthouse, a charter member of the Friends of the Library, a Girl Scout leader, and along with Bill, charter members of the The Havre de Grace Arts Commission. Bill served his country as a U.S. Marine, and has served HdG as a Boy Scout leader, the founder of the first Havre de Grace rec soccer team, the President of the Harford County Chapter of the Archaeology Society of Maryland, a board member for the Concord Point Lighthouse, and a member of the Havre de Grace 250 Commission. And you know - there are so many more ways that this couple has made an impact in Havre de Grace.

We know you all know and love the McIntyres, so let's show them our love and appreciation this Independence Day! (Feel free to share your own pictures and stories in the comments.)

Thanks to Pat Venturino for capturing the moment we revealed the news, and to the Vandiver Inn for hosting our kickoff event.

See you in 36 days for the big event! 🇺🇸
