Arboles Independence Day parade, celebrations set for June 29

Posted

The TARA Historical Society at Navajo Lake will be sponsoring the annual Independence Day Parade in Arboles on June 29. 

The parade will begin at 10 a.m., with the lineup starting at 9 a.m. behind the Piedra Peak Store on Willard Way. 

The parade finishes up at the TARA Community Center at 333 Milton Lane. 

The fundraiser for TARA includes a barbecue, a bake sale, horseshoes and fun. Parade entries include floats, vehicles, horses, animals, walking groups, wagons, four-wheelers, etc. This is a great opportunity to practice your parade entry for the Pagosa Springs Fourth of July Parade.

This year we will have royalty from the Jicarilla tribe joining the parade. There will also be a float for veterans to commemorate their service and sacrifices to our country. 

We are encouraging all local businesses and citizens to join the fun. The deadline for parade entries is June 24 at 5 p.m. Please contact Penny for a registration form or with any questions that you may have at (970) 883-5394 or email goldeneyrie@gmail.com. Also, registration forms can be picked up and dropped off at the TARA Community Center on Wednesdays or Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Registration for the parade is free of charge.

Come and join the fun on June 29.
