Members of the Brewton precinct of the Alabama Democratic Conference didn't let the drop in temperature or the rain drops falling on their heads stop them from celebrating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The celebration began with a parade which featured bands from B.C. Rain of Mobile and Wilcox County High School. Many people, young and old, walked the parade route, which began at the courthouse and ended at the Brewton Sportsman Park, where about 350 people enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and sodas.
The Brewton precinct of the Alabama Democratic Conference extends a heartfelt thank you to all who braved the weather and participated in the celebration.
