SALEM, Va. The Shriners rallied dozens of people together on Sunday to throw a special birthday parade for a child in Salem. The organization gave Charli Carpenter, who has been a part of the Shriner family for years, a drive-by parade for his 8th birthday. Charlis just special to us, so we wanted to celebrate his birthday today, said Potenentate of the Kazim Temple Ed Barker. The parade certainly brought a smile to Charlis face and his family said the parade was the best birthday celebration ever. With the success of this parade, the Shriners are looking into possibly throwing parades for their Shrine kids in the future.
