parade, we would love to have you participate! Click here for a parade entry. Please pass this on the anyone (or any group) who you know who may be
interested... boy scouts/girl scouts, sports teams, church groups... truly any
group is welcome. We would love to have more Pleasant Ridge streets involved
this year. We have already had a lot of interest in the parade and have secured
Roger Bacon Band again. It should be a great time! Hope to see you there!
As is the case with any event of
this nature, we rely on our wonderful volunteers to help us put on this event.
If you or any of your neighbors are able to help us out that weekend (Friday, Saturday
