RACINE, Ohio – Area residents came together to celebrate Independence Day with the annual Racine parade. From fire trucks to floats, the parade always offers something for all ages.

For patriotic vehicle first place went to Curtis Atkinson, second to Ron McDade, and third to Wolfe Mountain Entertainment. Grayson Evans had the first place in the bicycle division. The float winners were Racine First Baptist Church with first place, Antiquity Baptist Church with second place and Racine United Methodist Church with third place.
