Registration Information
Like in the past years, we are trying to expand parade participation. We encourage you to consider having a float in the parade that reflects one of the important themes of Memorial Day: recognition of those who served our country in the military, the memory of deceased veterans, and respect for America, its values, and accomplishments. We encourage participation by marchers, bands, appropriately decorated floats and vehicles, etc. If you are interested in participating please complete the following form by May 20, 2022.
Once your registration form is received, our parade Marshall, Charles Parker will reach out to provide additional details including your staging area. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to Charles Parker at judcp@hotmail.com or call 269-501-9971.
