Plainfield cancels Fourth of July parade due to storm damage
Officials with the City of Plainfield announced that Saturday's parade was canceled due to storm damage and power outages.
"Many homes remain without power, and a large amount of trees and debris still need to be cleared from roadways, sidewalks, and public areas. Public Safety and Department of Public Works personnel are currently deployed and will continue working through the storm's aftermath, including cleanup and response efforts, tomorrow morning.
Out of an abundance of caution and to allow city personnel to focus on public safety and storm recovery operations, the Fourth of July Parade scheduled for Saturday, July 4th, has been canceled.
At this time, the Fourth of July concert and fireworks are still scheduled to proceed as planned. The City will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates if any additional changes occur."
