Parade chairman submits letter to the editor.
A lot of work went into the Bel Air Independence Day parade, and the parade chairman is appreciative of both behind the scenes efforts and community participation. Michael Blum, parade chairman and vice president of the Bel Air Independence Day Committee, submitted a letter to the editor to express the committee's thanks. Below is the unedited letter in its entirety: July 5, 2012 To the Editor: On behalf of the Bel Air Independence Day Committee, Inc., I wish to thank the greater Bel Air and Harford County community for its response to this year's parade. The weather was hot — maybe the hottest ever for a July 4, although as I recall, July 4, 1999 was pretty hot, too — and I was concerned about the effect this would have both on the parade…

The Bel Air Police Department warns placing blankets and chairs along the parade route before Wednesday could lead to safety issues.
Wednesday marks July Fourth, and parade goers are eager to mark the perfect spot to watch the floats, bands and patriotic entertainment make their way along Main Street. The Bel Air Police Department, however, is asking that members of the community show restraint and wait until the day of the parade to set out chairs or blankets. "When chairs and other items are placed on the parade route to get 'just the right spot' it has created unintended consequences," states a release from Bel Air police. Unattended chairs left for days can blow into traffic and have damaged vehicles in previous years, police say. They can also prove to be tripping hazards for those walking the sidewalks of Bel Air, according to the release "There will be plenty of …

A lukewarm response greeted Gov. Martin O'Malley at the Bel Air Independence Day Parade.
Most community members were less than enthusiastic about Gov. Martin O'Malley's appearance at the Bel Air Independence Day Parade Monday evening. "One of the highlights of my parade is when Mr. O'Malley comes by and I get to turn my back on him," Terry Tipton of Bel Air said beforehand. "He is not the governor in my mind." Some others agreed. Elaine Rumke, also of Bel Air, said she didn't have an interest in seeing O'Malley. "I think he spends too much and has broken a lot of promises," Rumke said. Michael Powers of Kingsville put it bluntly: "I'll boo at him when he comes by." Rhonda Watkins was more positive, but still skeptical. She said O'Malley's parade appearance serves the public good. "It shows his patriotism, but it also shows …

From politicians to performers on stilts, Bel Air's latest July 4th parade had plenty of great moments.
