Guam - Dozens of faithful parade goers lined up outside the Paseo Stadium in Hagatna this morning to pick up their permits for prime viewing of the 69th Liberation Day Parade.

According to Department of Parks & Recreation director Ray Blas, his staff report it was a great turnout when doors opened at 8 a.m. and finished off shortly after ten a.m  he estimates over 111 permits were distributed today for spaces along the beachside and Daog Strip Park. Although less spaces were allotted this year, he states he could not sell spaces in front of privately owned business located closer to Adelup.

Camping along the parade route may begin Saturday July 20th with permits expiring Sunday, July 21st at 6 p.m. following the parade.
