The festivities will kick off approximately at 11 AM at the meeting hall. Boy Scout troop 2000 will lead the flag ceremony and Pledge of Allegiance and then the parade will commence making its way around the block. We should have fire and sheriff presence to help lead the parade, and a model T bringing up the rear.
