From there, we’ll go down Main Street, wind around one block to Brewery to drive through the Ford Retirement Community back parking area, then back to Main Street. From there, we’ll go to Granary Street. We’ll turn right on Granary, and go down a few blocks — hopping over to buzz by Premier HealthCare before going back over to North Street. We’ll go down North Street, then up Arthur Street to South Street, then disburse by 6:30. (Parade route is subject to change — we’re going to go drive it now to time it.  )
