Hacienda Heights holds Fourth of July parade

7-4-13 HHFOURTH01-L

The I Love America Parade in Hacienda Heights was the best yet, according to Dave Wallach, one of the coordinators for the popular event.

“We have more than 100 entries, including celebrity cars like Knight Rider, Herbie the Love Bug and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle van,” Wallach said. A Volkswagen club will bring 20 Beetles, while the Hacienda Cruisers are driving their classic cars.

The grand marshal was Superintendent Barbara Nakaoka, who is retiring after 43 years with the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. She will join other local celebrities such as Twinkle Time.

The parade began at 9 a.m. Thursday at Colima Road, marching north along Stimson Avenue to Steinmetz Park. A Fourth of July festival  followed in the popular park.
