May long weekend is coming up fast with the parade on Saturday, May 18 being sponsored by Clearwater Rotary, District of Clearwater and TNRD. The theme this year will be “Service to the Community”.
As always, all kinds of entries are welcome: fabulous floats, decorated bicycles, musical groups and clever entertainers, wild and wonderful vehicles, rolling stock and machines. We look forward to seeing clubs and organizations, businesses, individuals, and politicians and wanna-be’s strutting their stuff!
Registration will begin at 9:15 a.m. at Capostinsky Park with commercial enterprises paying $20 and other entrants free. Judging will take place from 10:15 to 10:45, the parade leaving promptly at 11 a.m. All participants will be given a ticket entitling them to a free burger or hot dog and drink when the parade ends at Raft River Elementary School. Any extras will be for sale once those who have taken part have been served.
Not participating? Come out to wave and cheer your encouragement as the parade moves forward.
Raffle marks 20th anniversary
And, as we celebrate Clearwater Rotary’s 20th anniversary, don’t forget to buy your lottery tickets from Rotary members on Friday afternoons outside Safety Mart.
Imagine winging your way anywhere WestJet flies or rumbling to Jasper on Via Rail, or perhaps listening to favourite music on your new iPod Touch.
Ticket cost $10 each or three for $20 with a draw date of June 15. Money raised goes right back into our community for the development of a new park near the high school, scholarships, exchange students, and other on-going projects.
