Mayor Donovan announces June 4 parade for Mount Vernon High baseball state champions
Summary
Mayor Pete Donovan invited the community to a parade and celebration Wednesday, June 4 at 4 p.m. honoring Mount Vernon High School’s baseball team after a state championship game in Yakima.
Mayor Pete Donovan announced a parade and public celebration for Mount Vernon High School’s state-championship baseball team, scheduled for Wednesday, June 4, at 4 p.m., Donovan said.
The mayor said the championship “hasn't been done here in Mount Vernon for over 30 years,” and invited residents to line downtown streets to honor the team. The game was played Saturday in Yakima, and Donovan said fans from Mount Vernon were well represented in the stands.
Donovan said the parade will start in front of City Hall, move north through downtown to Gates Street and finish at Riverwalk Plaza, where the champions will be available for photos and autographs. “We hope you can come on down and meet the team and the coaches,” Donovan said.
The announcement was an invitation to a community celebration rather than a formal city action; no votes or official city orders were raised in the remarks. The mayor closed the announcement by reiterating the start time: “We'll see you down here downtown this Wednesday at 4PM.”
