Ansonians cheer athletes at 'Parade of Champions'

ANSONIA - Saturday's parade to honor the Ansonia High School Chargers and four Ansonia youth cheerleading teams was filled with 'Ansonia Pride.'
 
As a city resident I enjoyed being there and seeing friends as I covered the upbeat event.
Everyone was smiling!




After walking down Main Street the athletes gathered in front of City Hall.
