2010 Theme Announced

The Sunday, July 4, 2010 Parade planning is now underway! July 4 is so sacred, we move the Sunday morning church service to Saturday! The 2010 Parade Theme is: “Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Healthiness”.  Start designing your floats in preparation of the Big Day.

 

Does anyone have a lead on a ‘marching  band’ or other type of live music we could invite to round out the musical offering portion of the parade? Contact the Mad River Valley chamber of commerce at 800-82-VISIT.

Weather update

Well Roger Hill is saying trending towards partly sunny but cool - http://www.weatheringheights.com/

Wunderground.com is concurring with 50% chance of rain at sunrise, dwindling to 10% chance at night - http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=05674&hourly=1&yday=184&weekday=Saturday

 

Looks like we squeak by and only need to bring a vest or long sleeve shirt and the 4th will be sunnying up!

Roger, if you have any strings to pull or magic dust to throw in the air, we could use some blue sky down here.

Calling all Floats and Marchers

If you would like to put together a float, a statement, or somehow support the theme of “It’s Easy Being Green”, get cracking!  No registration is required, you simply show up by 8:30am on July 4 on Main Street, south of the Warren Covered Bridge and you will be placed in line. It’s FUN and it’s EASY!  Wave to 7000 of your closest friends along the parade route, promote your cause, your business, your patriotism. Come one, come all!

 

Congressman Peter Welch will come on the 4th

Another politician in the parade confirmed – Our one and only congressman, Peter Welch, has agreed to come on the 4^th this year and walk in the parade. Say Hi and make sure and ask him about your healthcare – he’s working hard on it.

Shake his hand, bend his ear or just say “Hey Bernie” when you see him in the parade next weekend.
