The streets of Greensboro will not be filled with fire trucks or marching bands this July after it was decided that there will be no parade during the town's annual carnival.
On Tuesday, Town Manager David Kibler said the Greensboro Volunteer Fire Company opted not to hold a parade during its carnival this year, set to run June 27 through July 2. Kibler said it will be the first time in quite a few years that there will be no parade.
GVFC President Richard Covert said the fire company members voted against a parade this year because of a lack of participation in the parades for the last three years. Covert said the fire company spent $700 on trophies for last year's parade, but had very few groups show up to take part.
