BIG CELEBRATION: Gwinnett’s biggest Memorial Day celebration was in Dacula, where for the 22nd year, a parade marked the day’s activities. Roving Photographer Frank Sharp caught some of the action, as Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks led the parade, riding with Mill Creek Homecoming Queen Laura Hunter, and her father, County Commissioner Tommy Hunter. A highlight of the parade was a C-130 flyover from Dobbins Air Reserve Base at 1,000 feet over part of the parade route on Dacula Road as Katie Wolf finished singing the Star-Spangled Banner.
