Dixon has thrown its share of welcome-home parades over the years. With strong public support, Saturday’s parade and fundraiser for Marine Lance Cpl. Adam Devine could well be one of the best.

Marine Lance Cpl. Adam Devine is coming home, and we encourage everyone to turn out and welcome him.

The welcome-home parade is planned from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday. It will start at Dixon High School (where Devine graduated in 2008), head across the Peoria Avenue bridge, turn left at Third Street, go down Hennepin Avenue, and end at the Reagan statue at the Heritage Crossing Riverfront Plaza.
