Shad Derby Parade Grand Marshall Named

The Shad Derby Parade and Festival will be held on May 19. The Windsor Jaycees released the name of its Grand Marshall Sunday.

The 2012 Shad Derby Parade Grand Marshall is retiring President Mark Griffin, according to the Windsor Jaycees, who made the announcement late Sunday.

"The Jaycees like to highlight people that go above and beyond in putting the entire Windsor community first, and Mark Griffin fits that description perfectly," said John Jary, president of the Jaycees.

"The combination of Mark Griffin and Windsor Federal Savings have helped out and supported our town in so many ways over the years that it seems appropriate for him to be selected, just prior to his retirement, as a way of thanking Mark for his long time contributions to the Town of Windsor," Jary added.
