“This has to be one of the only Fourth of July parades in America that include a snowplow,” joked the Glen Arbor parade’s unofficial organizer Stan Brubaker. “I called the Leelanau County Road Commission chairman last week and reminded him that we’re looking forward to see the snowplow there. Anything goes in our parade!” True story. Glen Arbor’s parade features antique cars and firetrucks, the Kazoo Corps and Cherry Republic bear, a team of Elvis impersonators, live music played from a flatbed trailer, and local newspapers tossed from a convertible. Anything goes.
