One of the traditional activities during Lexington’s Fourth of July Festival is a parade down Main Street. It’s also tradition to have a number of political campaign units in the procession. Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton said she’s not aware of any serious discussion about limiting political entries. The mayor said it would be nice to have more floats and bands. But, there are challenges in attracting school bands in the summer.
“Some of them are getting ready for band camp for the summer, the bands do band camp and so the preparation for the parade and getting everybody there. They have to hire buses and things like that.”
