Riverhead’s homecoming parade was a washout, canceled by this morning’s rain, but the game went on — the Blue Waves picked up a much-needed win — and so did the float competition.
This year’s theme was Broadway musicals. The sophomore class took first place in the float contest, with their Willy Wonka themed float. Seniors took second place (“Wicked”), followed by juniors (“Lion King”) and then freshmen (“13”).
The floats were judged by Councilman James Wooten, Riverhead Police Officer Richard Freeborn, and RiverheadLOCAL co-publisher Peter Blasl.
