NORWOOD -- Hundreds lined the streets of Norwood Thursday to watch the annual Fourth of July parade.

With temperatures around 90 degrees, the parade featured dozens of firetrucks and marching firefighters from around St. Lawrence County, floats created by local businesses and organizations, the Norwood Brass Firemen Band and a bagpipe band from Brockville.

Also participating were flag displays by American Legion and military personnel and local politicians.
