After Michael’s birthday party at Skateway was canceled due to the coronavirus, his parents, Nate and Jess Lawson, planned a birthday party parade. His mom figured a few friends and parents of her son’s classmates would drive by.
Instead, there were at least 30 vehicles in the parade, led by a Middletown Division of Fire truck with its sirens blaring, and ending with police Maj. Malcolm Tipton and Michael’s youth basketball coach.
Michael’s second-grade teacher Anedra Million drove by and gave him a large Teddy bear.
“It was awesome,” his mother said. “We were really impressed that many people came.”
