If you hear tons of sirens or see a large police presence moving through Billings on Saturday (12/17) don't be alarmed. It's just the 3rd annual Shop with a Cop parade. Fifty local kids will get to enjoy a Christmas shopping spree, thanks to community fundraisers.
Is cancelation fatigue setting in? Perhaps. It seems like I've written, "in a year full of cancellations" about a hundred times this year. Here comes another one.
The public safety parade is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, and end around the time a flyover from the Montana Air National Guard is planned over downtown.
