Webster Bank Salutes Community at Park Road Parade WEST HARTFORD, Conn., October 15, 2014 - The Park Road Parade is a family tradition in West Hartford, Conn., and Webster Bank is living up to the community by being a sponsor of the October 18 event. Robert Torres, vice president and banking center manager, serves on the parade association and its marketing committee. Webster bankers will have a gazebo in front of the 75 Park Road location, providing bottled water and juices to parade goers, and holding a contest to give away UConn football tickets.

The 17th Annual Park Road Parade features ESPN anchor Jay Harris as the Grand Marshall. http://www.westhartford.org/parkroadparade/Click herefor more information on the festivities. Immediately following the parade, there will be a dedication and unveiling of the Richard Patrissi Memorial Clock, a salute to the "Mayor of Park Road," as he was a long time business owner and community advocate.
"This is a wonderful celebration of the town's diverse people, cultures, and businesses," said Torres. "It's also a tip of the cap to Richard, who dedicated himself to making such a positive difference in the lives of others and in the community."
