READSBORO’S 2017 PARADE FLOAT COMPETITION
Theme - America Honors Its Heroes
The Readsboro Independence Day Committee would personally like to invite the family and friends of Readsboro to be part of this year’s parade by participating in the Parade Float Competition on Saturday, June 24, 2017.
We will be awarding three cash prizes - $100, $75 and $50. Floats will be judged on creativity and hand made qualities. All floats should be neatly assembled & decorated. Candy can be thrown carefully from each float. Children (walking or riding) must be accompanied by an adult.
Please call Cindy at 802-423-5251 if you are interested in entering a float into the Independence Day Parade.
SILENT AUCTION
We will be setting up a SILENT AUCTION table at the Lions Park. Some of the items we would like to display will be gift certificates, gift baskets, paintings, crafted items, jewelry, handmade items, decorative pieces, new gifts, electronic products, bird feeders, pet items and items for the kids.
Please stop at the pavilion and place a bid on one or more of the items.
If you have an item you would like to donate to the silent auction table just give us a call & we will pick it up.
Generous donations by people such as you, are what helps us in our endeavor.
