Highland Park West Balcones Area Fourth of July Parade

By Alana Moehring Mallard

Highland Park West Balcones Area Neighborhood Association sponsored a Fourth of July celebration that featured a morning parade from Highland Park Elementary School, around the neighborhood, and back to the school. Firefighters and an engine from Station 10 led the parade, followed by neighbors and friends walking with pets and kids in strollers and wagons, on bikes and scooters, driving their miniature jeeps and motorcycles.

And in an odd switcheroo of fire engines, the Highland Park parade was led by engine 10 and firefighters from the Windsor Road station, engine 12 and firefighters from Hancock Drive went to the Northwest Hills parade, and the Gullett parade was led by engine 19 and firefighters from the Balcones Drive station.
