Chelmsford Parade Committee finalizes logistics for the town's 2026 celebration. The committee confirmed that porta potties will be stationed at 3 Summer Street and Veterans Park, with the road closing at 5:00 AM for balloon arch setup; Jason Poor of the Police Department secured the Route 495 bridge closure permit. The committee canceled the Patriots band due to poor communication and confirmed David Hedison as Parade Marshal, who will ride in Charlie Wojtas' convertible.
The Lions Club will manage the concert area on the common for the Suburbanettes' performance, and Chuck Marcella will withdraw $450 cash to pay three Christianson bus drivers $150 each. The next meeting, scheduled for June 23 at the Chase home, will focus on parade line-up details.
