Newtown, CT Labor Day Parade - 2009 was really fun and shows you what Life in Newtown is all about! As in past years, the town resident participation was phenomenal! The variety of parade marchers spread the gamut of politicians, including Governor Jodi Rell, to school bands, Miss Connecticut and the Shriner's in their little red cars.
