The upcoming community parade is set to kick off at 4:30 PM, featuring a variety of activities aimed at engaging families and residents. Organizers have planned a full day of events, including a breakfast hosted by local school classes, games for children, and a car show expected to begin in the morning.
Highlighting the entertainment lineup, a ventriloquist comedian from Wichita will perform at 7 PM, promising a fun evening for attendees. Additional attractions include face painting and a zip line, which has generated excitement among participants, although some, like the organizer, admit they might not be brave enough to try it.
The event is designed to be family-friendly, with all children's activities offered free of charge, thanks to ongoing fundraising efforts and support from local sponsors. While food will be available for purchase, free bottled water will be provided to ensure families can enjoy the day without financial strain.
Attendance estimates suggest that between 2,000 to 3,000 people may participate, although these figures are based on informal assessments rather than scientific data. The parade is expected to draw a significant crowd, contributing to a vibrant community atmosphere.
As preparations continue, the organizer expressed optimism about increasing parade entries and enhancing the overall experience for attendees. The event is seen as a valuable opportunity for community bonding and celebration, with hopes for pleasant autumn weather to complement the festivities.
