FOX 29's Chris O'Connell has the story. DELAWARE COUNTY, Pa. - It was Gritty country in Middletown Township, Delaware County, on Thursday night.
The Flyers mascot paraded down the streets escorted by a line of first responders to help lift people spirits during COVID-19.
It was the perfect way to beat the quarantine blues. Gritty pumped up the paradegoers on a fire truck. And yes, he wore a mask.
The parade started at 5:30 and lasted nearly two hours."A little morale boost. We’re in tough times right now. People are unemployed.
