President Elsa Núñez, her husband Richard Freeland and other family members were joined by Kim Silcox, director of the Center for Community Engagement, and student volunteers, as well as members of the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honor Society at the hugely popular Boom Box Parade held on Main Street in Willimantic on July 4. The S.S. Eastern float again dominated the seas as the Eastern contingent was well received by the crowd; the parade is now in its 27th year and draws thousands of people each year.
