Pioneer Days 2010

An Open Letter to the 2009 Pioneer Days Participants!shriner-fire-engine-bam


Once again, thank you for your participation and support in the rescue of the 2009 Pioneer Days Parade.

The success of last year’s parade can, in no small part, be attributed to your participation. A goal not changed from last year and, considering our theme, particularly fitting for this year, is that the parade is self sustainable from year to year.

As a result of the survey we sent out after the parade, we’re making changes to improve the event for participants, vendors and, of course, the spectators.

We’re changing the parade start time to 10 AM.
