Come join us on July 4th for the best little parade in town!
Anyone and everyone is welcome - you can watch or participate, the choice is up to you. Never joined a parade before? You can think of it as your excuse to:
Location: Starts on the west end at Ward Street, winds all the way down Mill/Main St, and ends at Elysian Park.
About the Bark Brigade - Tucked into the parade will be a section reserved for anyone who wants to walk with their dog. In Jamestown, we LOVE our dogs. They've been on the T-shirts....now it's their time to be in the parade. You could: Dress em up with some flair...attach their name visibly somewhere on their body...decorate their leash...as long as they can play nice with their fellow canines, they are welcome to walk in the parade! Want to be part of the Bark Brigade? Just show up with your furry friend (leashed for the parade, please!) at the end of Ward street by 11:45.
About the KAZOO BAND: ANYONE can join the Kazoo Band. This is a longstanding Jamestown tradition and Laura W will be proudly leading the buzz. Meet in the post office parking lot at 11:30 sharp with your kazoo (or get one while supplies last - Laura will have a limited supply of xtra!) and be ready to head up the parade!
The Jamestown Volunteer Fire Department will be handling traffic control, emergency planning, etc. - and will of course, have their shiny engines out in style! (Thanks, JVFD - you are SO VERY appreciated!!)
And three cheers for Emma H, who has agreed to be our Parade Marshall again this year. Hip Hip! We shall follow you wherever you lead us, Emma! (Following in the fine footsteps of Luis M and David T, among others!)
So here's the question for you: How are YOU getting down to the big park on the 4th? Do it with some style and COME JOIN US!!
Got questions or think you'd like to jump in? You are always welcome to just show up on Ward Street @11:30 on the 4th, but it'd be great if you would write me to give a heads up so that I can make sure you have the spot you deserve: erika@glib.net
Thanks all!

- Strut your stuff
- Play the kazoo in public
- Show off your dog in the Bark Brigade (Paw-rade?)
- Throw candy from a moving vehicle (Decorate your bike! Your truck! Your river raft!)
- Dance along to Jamestown's first ever Marching Band
- Show solidarity with your community
- Dazzle all of us mountain folk with your special stilt walking skills (magic!)
- Get to the park faster than the parade watchers
