Susan started blogging about Greenbelt soon after moving here in 2012, and that blog has grown into this nonprofit community website. She also created and curates the Greenbelt Maryland YouTube channel. She blogs weekly at GardenRant.com and in 2025 published "Hippies in Europe 1969: a Memoir."
AWESOME photos, Susan! Some of these I didn’t even appreciate enough at the time; it is super to get a chance to re-live a great parade! Goooo, Greenbelt! 🙂
Being a former member of the GVFD&RSInc., and having participated in many Labor Day Parades in Greenbelt, I was hoping to see what fire departments were represented and what equipment they brought. I realize some things change over the course of 40-50 years, but I noticed some emergency lighting in one of your pictures…and then no photos of those same trucks “passing the reviewing stand”. Thank you for sharing your photos. Jim Mulvey

With all those folks IN the parade it’s surprising there were any spectators. It was a great parade this year!
