Thank you to all of of you who included us in your drive-by celebrations during the last few months. We hope those Birthday Parades helped celebrate special days during some challenging times.

As we all begin to get back to normal, at this time we will no longer be doing Birthday Parades. Please continue to be safe and remember that we will always be here to serve you during emergencies.

We also want to take some time today to wish all the incredible dads out there a Happy Father's Day!
