Community turns out for Buckfield Labor Day parade

Sep. 82018

BUCKFIELD — The town celebrated Labor Day Sept. 3 with the annual Community Day Parade. This year’s theme was “We Salute You,” which organizers said could apply to anything from the military, to local first responders or heroes in the community, but also for any group or person those participating felt deserved recognition.

Hundreds of area residents turned out for the annual parade.

The Levesque family of Buckfield turns out every year to enjoy the parade and other activities. Parents Jacob and Bobbi-Jo, along with eight-year-old Isaac and his 10-month old sister Macie, were waiting to catch eldest daughter Karlee on the Buckfield Recreation Department soccer float.

Four-month-old Obi, a golden retriever, waits patiently for the parade with owner Matt McGreevy of Buckfield. Obi received lots of attention from nearby children and adults, and although the first siren got his attention, he settled down and wasn’t bothered by subsequent noises associated with the annual Labor Day parade.
