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

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.
