Heat doesn’t stop Henlopen Acres’ annual July 4 parade
It was a hot and humid July 4 morning, but hundreds of Henlopen Acres residents and property owners still showed up for the town’s ninth annual Independence Day Parade. Dressed in red, white and blue, participants gathered at the marina and walked or pedaled around town. Following the parade, there were fun and games in the marina parking lot. Most importantly for the hot kids and adults, there was free ice cream from Cup ‘R Cone.
