You can march in the Parade or we will provide a vehicle for you to ride in! No uniform necessary, simply join us at the Central Fire Station on Tuttle Road, between 9:00 and 9:30 am. Hope to see you there!
ATTENTION PARENTS: Kids are invited to join the end of the parade on their bicycles, again this year! Get out all your red, white and blue decorations - we would love to have a group of patriotic bicycles ending the parade and honoring our veterans! A parent will be asked to follow along with their riders, and we ask you to join us in the MIW staff parking lot at 9:30am. See you then!
