Mars celebrates rainy Fourth
A burst of wet weather couldn't dampen the spirits of those attending the borough's Fourth of July celebration in Mars.
The day kicked off with a picnic dinner, live entertainment and games and activities for children. That was followed by the annual parade, with fireworks planned for dusk.
