The July 14 deadline to register an entry in this year's Bald Eagle Day Parade is approaching.
The parade theme is "Celebrating a Century," which marks the 100th year of the incorporation of the Town of Cathlamet.
The July 21 parade starts at 11 a.m. Application blanks appear in this issue of The Eagle; they are also available via e-mail, wchamber@cni.net, or for pick-up at the chamber offices.
The festival will run Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, July 20-22.
Jennifer A. Johnson, executive director of the Wahkiakum County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Information Center, said this week that organizers are seeking parade entries and vendors for the Saturday events. People wishing to reserve a street fair booth should contact Johnson at the chamber office, 795-9996.
Johnson said the entertainment schedule is coming together.
Friday night starts out with a live music show at the marina with a band called Voodoo Highway visiting from the Seattle area. There will also be a beer garden for those age 21 and over. Music will go from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
The Saturday schedule includes the parade and street fair, lasting until 5 p.m. Johnson says there will be lots of new kid's area activities, bounce houses, old fashioned pictures and more. Saturday evening will include another beer garden and live music from the Skamokawa Festival Orchestra from 6:30-9 p.m. Fireworks begin at 9:45 p.m.
