WISCONSIN RAPIDS (NBC 26) - People everywhere are finding their ways around social distancing in the fight against the coronavirus. Sunday, a woman celebrated her 93rd birthday with the whole town.

Virginia Alft's daughter Mary said she was planning on having an open-house for her birthday, but it had to be canceled. So, they decided to have a parade around her block. They were joined by friends, family and neighbors; and it was even led by the local police department.
