The welcome home parade for the Coeur d'Alene Little League All Stars has been moved to Thursday, Aug. 30.

Coeur d'Alene Little League made the announcement on its Facebook page Thursday following a win in Pennsylvania against the team from Barcelona.

"It was a little bittersweet for some realizing it’s over and probably their last Little League game," reads a post on the page. "They all took dirt from the field to keep as a souvenir."

The team is going to Gettysburg today and hoping to play Australia in a friendly game Saturday morning on the original Little League Field. That game will not be televised.

The parade, which was planned for 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, will now be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday to allow all the boys to attend their schools' open houses. Coeur d'Alene Little League said more details about the parade are forthcoming.
