Thank you to all who came to the Bingo yesterday to help support the parade. A packed house with lots of winners and lots of fun.
It is getting closer to the parade.
Remember to let us know if you are going to participate in this year's parade. Please look for the parade people for line up spots. The line up will be posted here once we get things more in line.
Celebrate the 250 Years of Defending America's Freedom.
As always, there is NO THROWING of candy from moving vehicles. Those marching can gently toss or hand to viewers on the sides. This is a safety problem with more and more children coming too close to the vehicles and are not always easily seen by the driver.
See all very soon.
Parade is Sunday, November 8th starting at 2 pm.
