4-Hers Unite for Memorial Day Parade

If your members are staying in town for the Memorial Day weekend, why not be in the PARADE! The parade in Bloomington kicks off at 9 am in downtown Bloomington and ends at Miller Park.

4-H clubs that wish to participate need to arrive in front of Central Station Restaurant no later than 8:15 am. A short Flag Etiquette presentation will be led by Randy Lloyd. The parade entry is provided by Timeless Clovers 4-H Alumni.

Bring your club banner & wear your 4-H t-shirt – Cloverbuds are welcome also, if they can make the trip. The 1+ mile route will be walked by everyone…comfortable shoes are a must! Dress for the weather as the parade is held rain or shine!

If you have questions about the parade please contact Randy Lloyd at 663-8306 or lloyd1@illinois.edu.
