The old cliché “everybody loves a parade” was never more evident than when the newly crowned Little League Softball Eastern Regional Champions received a community hero’s welcome as they triumphantly made their way through the streets of South Williamsport and Duboistown. Parades are nothing new to them as the annual South Williamsport Mummers’ parade traverses
