Many Southborough residents waited all weekend on pins and needles to see if the Heritage Day show would go on.
There were fears of a tropical storm raining on our parade. While marchers did get a bit wet, most of the rain was before and after the parade. And the strongest downpours held off until early afternoon.
Weather definitely interfered and kept some away. But given the conditions, it was a good turnout for the annual celebration.
Here are the best pics from me (and my husband), sprinkled with a few from other sources.

This week, I shared fun pics of the Light Up Southborough pumpkin contributions. But I have two beauties worth sharing here.
One (right) was contributed. I discovered the other below on Instagram.
