Fourth of July Parade Notes

Posted on June 24, 2015

With the calendar on the back side of June, summer is flying by. I wanted to invite you all to join us at the DeForest 4th of July Parade this year. This is kind of a big year for us as it marks our 20-year anniversary!

Which also means this will be our 20th Fourth of July parade — and, I say the more the merrier. It is one of the events we enjoy most. So please come out and join us. If your worried about what we’ll do, it’s always a pretty simple routine. Moms and Dads are invited to come along as well to wave to the crowd or toss candy.

We will start at the High School:

  • 9:30am — arrive High School. We will practice and get everyone staged and ready.
  • 10:00am — parade crunch. Things get ready to move.
  • 10:30 — parade begins.

The Parade Route:

  • East on Halsar
  • West on Holum
  • Finish at at main St.

Expect the parade to take about 45 minutes or so.

PLEASE BRING: water bottle, sunscreen, MPK T-shirt, SHOES, and a plan for the end of the parade (who is going where and with whom).

Stop in and sign up at the studio or just email tony@karatedeforest.com. We will be practicing in class from now until the 4th…
