Loudoun's Little League World Series Team To Get Parade

SOUTH RIDING, VA — Loudoun County is inviting the community to join in a celebration of the Loudoun South Little League team, the first team from Virginia in 25 years to go to the Little League World Series. The celebration will begin with a parade starting at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Dulles South Recreation and Community Center, 24950 Riding Center Drive in South Riding.

The parade, which will include marching bands and fire trucks, will proceed down Riding Center Drive to Freedom High School, where the celebration will continue with a festival and ceremony recognizing all of the spring 2019 All-Star Little League teams in Loudoun, according to a county announcement.

The festivities will include inflatables, games, music and food organized by the county's Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services. The celebration is a joint effort of Loudoun County, the Loudoun South Little League and South Riding Proprietary.

Plans for the parade follow a Board of Supervisors resolution, adopted last week, recognizing and commending the Loudoun South Little League team of 10- to 12-year-olds. The team won the District 16, Virginia State and Southeast Regional Championships and recently competed in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., according to a county statement.
