WINSLOW -- The Winslow 4th of July Parade Committee has barred a peace group from having a float in the parade, saying it does not fit into the theme of keeping the American spirit alive.
Waterville Area Bridges for Peace & Social Justice asked to participate in the parade but received a letter from Parade Chairman David Morissette denying the request.

"We are not against what you stand for, we just don't feel it is what's best for the Winslow Family 4th of July Parade."
