| Time For A Parade
The 27th Annual Fulton Service Clubs’ Memorial Day Salute Parade is scheduled for Saturday, May 24, 2008 at 10:00 AM. The parade theme this year is “A Grateful Community Says 'Thanks' To Our Veterans”. The Fulton Memorial Day parade traditionally features children and bands. Many children’s groups have already signed up for the parade this year. There is always room for more groups, businesses, and individuals to be in the parade. If you are a member of a group who wants to be in this year’s parade, it is still not too late to sign up. Richard Kemmis is this year’s parade chairman and his phone number is 592-4486. Call him if you have questions about the parade, or wish to be in it. Several business and groups are working on floats to place in the parade. Whether you are interested in planning a float, a marching group or want to show off an unusual vehicle, now is the time to act. Your intentions should be made known by the first of May. Kemmis asks that you call him at 592-4486 and he will send you a parade application form. |
