MONUMENT — The News5 crew was a big part of the annual Independence Day Parade in Monument on Thursday morning.
Marchers, floats, bands, and even members of the Renaissance festival- including the elephants- took part.
One long time resident told News5 even though the crowds get larger, the parade gets bigger, it still holds that small town Americana feel.
The festivities continue throughout the night with live music and a fireworks show.
