Raindrops and moonlight

Spring Festival parade marches on despite downpour

MOSES LAKE — For a bit, it didn’t look like there would be a Moonlight Parade down Third Avenue on Saturday night. “There’s going to be a parade,” said Spring Festival organizer Sean Salis as he sat in the cab of his truck between phone calls and text messages. Salis drove off, rain still falling. A downpour drenched the 6 p.m. Kiddie Parade, and students, staff and teachers from North Elementary School braved the wet and made their way down Third to Frontier Middle School as soggy spectators applauded.
