I LOVE A PARADE ---- A PEMBROKE, MASSACHUSETTS PARADE

20 September 2012 Pembroke, Massachusetts---

Hey All! There’s parade at 1pm Sunday the 23rd commemorating 300 years of incorporation following a swipe of the pen by the infamous Earle of Pembroke.

The lineup has over 85 different groups marching, walking, driving, or prancing, including the infamous Joseph A. Ferko String Band and our hometown media group Pembroke Community Media Center, Inc.(PCMC) .

For over 300 years the Pembroke community has been a significantly active part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; known for its timber, herring, and numerous ponds which provided iron, ice, and an unlimited supply of power for the mills.

The colorful and popular James Michael Curley who was both Boston’s Mayor and the Commonwealth’s Governor, favored our fair town of Pembroke as a vacation spot so much that he created Route 36 as a state highway to assure maintenance of the road that took him to the Solari family’s Hobomock Inn for vacations.

The 1pm parade starts at  the high school heading west on Learning Lane, then surrounds Curley’s old haunt before turning  northward on Center Street to end at the Town Center.

Don’t miss the ladies from PCMC in the all-original 1969 Yellow Cutlass with the White Convertible Top.  They’re 12th in line right before the Navy Band and just behind the Legion Honor Guard.

Ms. Ann Ryerson says that she and her crew look forward to seeing and filming everyone at this hometown event on which the Pembroke 300th Committee has been working so hard.

Watch for other Pembroke Community Media Center volunteers filming history along the procession route and then go to www.yourpcmc.com to see the Pembroke-only programming you’ve come to know and love, any time of the day or night.
