BERLIN — At 6:30 p.m. on the night of Nov. 25, except for a few couples and families huddled in storefronts on Main Street, downtown Berlin was deserted and little could be heard other than the sounds of wind and falling rain.

At 7 p.m., when the 28th Parade of Lights parade began, a huge crowd lined both sides of the downtown, the rain had stopped and the wind began to die down.
