The Milford Historical Society invites you to
participate in the 2014 Independence Day Parade. Our Parade will be held at
11:00 A.M. on Friday, July 4rd.
As you know this Parade is an opportunity for business and individuals
to “Toot Their Horn” and show community spirit at the same time. The Parade will begin in downtown Milford and
end at Huron Street. Participants can begin staging in designated areas by
10:00 A.M. Below is a link to the Application for the parade. Please
complete and send or fax back.
The theme for the Parade will be:
Our Milford,
“A Small Village with a
Big Heart”
We
ask that your float, music or demonstration somehow relate to the theme through
the use of colors, etc.
To
participate in this year’s Parade, please fill out the attached form and return
to the address below, with a stamped, self-addressed envelope so we may mail
back to you your assigned parade spot.
We
will be mailing back to you, in the envelope you have provided, confirmation of
your placement in the Parade.
If
you have any questions, or require additional information, please feel free to
contact me.
In
order to offset the rising cost of running the parade we are asking business
participants to consider also including a donation to the Milford Historical
Society with your application. Your donations of $10 – $50 will help keep the
Independence Day parade going. Thanks
Sincerely,
Katherine and Russ Rheaume, Parade Coordinators
