📅 Event Calendar

We meet at 10 am to decorate cars. Parade begins at 11 am. We'll give US Flags to all along parade route. If unable to walk the one-mile route, cars will be available. Ideal parking at middle school, corner Clay St & 14th St. (where parade ends). This lot fills early, so you may need to park at the high school (Lyons St. near 14th St.).
