Bath Will Have No Memorial Day Parade This Year

No Memorial Day Parade in Bath this year because of illegal gambling. Booooo, hissssss. Very sad, seeing as how the parade has been a benchmark in the town for decades.

The Smith-Tobey Post 21 of the American Legion has pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated unlawful gambling, a class B felony.

The post was fined $15,000 by the state and paid a total of $18,025, according to a report in the BDN.

There were no individual criminal charges filed but, as a result, the annual parade was preempted.
