Area municipalities are updating their safety precautions for their holiday events and parades in the wake of the mass casualty event that took place at the Waukesha Christmas parade Sunday night.
Menomonee Falls has decided to cancel its parade scheduled for this weekend because of the tragedy in Waukesha, an alert said on the village website.
On his Facebook page, Menomonee Falls Village President Dave Glasgow said although he has every confidence in the police department to take the appropriate actions to ensure a safe parade, the desire to stand with the people of Waukesha is weighing heavily on the hearts of those in the village.
“In Waukesha County the community parades share some of the same participants,” Glasgow said in his post.
