I am tired of the noise and the closed roads. Not everyone enjoys this.

While the parade brings a lot of people to the area, the traffic congestion really impacts local residents who just want to get home. It is a nice way to celebrate, but we need better planning for the influx of visitors.

It is lovely to see the kids involved in such a historic event, though I worry about the costs associated with shutting down the town center. We should balance the celebration with the financial needs of local business owners.
