It takes a village to raise a family, and Novato is the perfect place! That was the theme this year at the Novato Fourth of July Parade, "Celebrating Novato's Families."
Walking along the parade route, one can witness the generations gathering to either participate in or join the parade to celebrate the birth of our country and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Happy 236th Fourth of July, America!
