A lot of people dress in red/white/and blue to honor old glory. The parade will start at 10:00 AM, entry in the parade is free. If you want to participate, meet behind Larry’s Automotive by 9:30 am.

Country music, a bon fire and a beer garden will be part of the fun. Bring your own BBQ food items and beverages if you wish. A soft ball game will also be part of the fun.
