A kazoo band, Atlanta Thrashers' mascot Thrash and Miss Georgia Teen will be there. So will Clark Howard, a group of skateboarders and McGruff the Crime Dog.
The annual Dunwoody Salutes America Fourth of July parade Friday morning clearly is a big deal —- the biggest Independence Day event in Georgia, promoters say, now that WSB-TV has discontinued its "Salute 2 America" parade in Atlanta after 47 years.
Mull said there were 124 confirmed parade "units" as of Wednesday, including marching bands, floats, antique vehicles, a flag-carrying football team, Boy Scouts, cheerleaders and dogs. The event has grown so large that this year, for the first time, trash receptacles —- 200 of them —- are needed.
The parade begins at 9:30 and runs south along Mount Vernon Road ending at Dunwoody Village near Chamblee - Dunwoody Rd. There will be live music, including a 45-minute patriotic concert, and food, activities and awards.
