Time to put your thinking cap on, talk to your friends, family and co-workers. Be as creative as you want, build a float or get a group together and walk. Come on, all you business owners, get your staff together for a Bald Eagle party and build a float.

Think fishing, farms, logging, business, restaurants, churches, sports, school, clubs and family. Scoop up the young and old, put them on a trailer with your idea for the theme, and then watch the smiles of the crowd as you go by.

Get that special car out and all shined up, put your honey by your side and you’re in the parade.

If walking is your thing - try pets, clowns, dancers, horses, etc. Let’s make this the biggest and best parade ever. You could even win a prize - there are lots of categories to choose from, something for everyone.

All parade entries must be pre-registered. Completed entry forms must be returned by 4:00 p.m., Monday, July 16.

Meet at Wahkiakum High School Parking Lot and be in place by 10:30 a.m., and ready for the judges by 11:00 a.m. Parade Applications are available at Bank of Pacific or the Chamber’s Office. For more information call Marissa at the Bank of Pacific 795-3228 or Megan at the Chamber’s Office 795-9996.
