2013 Brandon Fourth Of July Parade Awards

The Community Roundtable at Center Place on July 10 awarded prizes to the top floats, units and performances at the 2013 Greater Brandon Fourth of July Parade.

"We had a lot of people who went along with the theme [of this year's parade, 'Honoring America's Volunteers'] and they had a lot of fun doing it," said the Community Roundtable's vice president, Janine Nickerson. "It was a good challenge for them and they did a good job accomplishing it."

This year's judges were past Alice B. Tompkins Community Service Award recipient Miller Dowdy, of IronLand Realty Investments; Jim Johnson, public affairs coordinator at Mosaic fertilizer and board emeritus for the Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce; and Janice Balzano, chief operating officer at Brandon Regional Hospital.
