4th of July Parade

We’re all glad to know that Sue Hines is organizing the community’s parade again this year. As it has in the past, the parade will start at 2 PM on July 4th and will follow the same route. Participants should line up on Anchors Way and proceed down Main Street to East Benning.

“For this year’s Fourth of July Parade,” said Sue, “let’s again present the true heart of Galesville – its people, families, clubs, organizations and businesses. We’d like everyone to participate.”

Family clans, business groups or neighborhoods are invited to march (or ride) in the parade. We do ask groups to carry identifying signs, such as, “The Jones Family” or the “Anchors Way Neighbors.” This will help the old and the new families to better get to know and appreciate each other.

Of course, we welcome the participation of many groups that are not located in Galesville. We love having the horses, fire engines, antique cars and tractors, color guard, history floats, politicians, etc. from other communities around our historical area.

Get in the spirit and help commemorate our country’s birthday. Start planning now to make this year’s parade the best one ever!

Let us know how you plan to will participate.  Contact Sue Hines at 410-867-3541, or email: goodlord@comcast.net.

SORRY, Again this year there will be NO fireworks!!!
