Trophies that will be given out to the best float during the Sesquicentennial Parade.
Our sesquicentennial celebration is right around the corner, I hope you have your parade floats ready! There is still time to sign up if you’d like to take part in the float contest for the parade on Saturday, August 17. Gather your co-workers, friends or neighbors, get creative and put together a winning float! One award will be given in each of the following categories: business, organization/church/civic group and family/neighborhood. Entries will be judged on best use of theme, originality, public appeal, and craftsmanship/artistic quality. To enter, all you need to do is fill out the Parade Entry Form and read the Rules & Regulations! You can also submit an electronic version of the Parade Entry Form here. Registrations are accepted through Friday, August 9th.
Remember, if you aren’t interested in participating in the float contest, you can just show up on Saturday, August 17th at the Benton County Fairgrounds starting at 1pm. The parade will begin promptly at 2pm. The Vinton Kiwanis Club has graciously agreed to help with the parade lineup.
The route will take entries north up 2nd Avenue, west onto 6th Street, north onto B Avenue, east onto 4th Street and end at 2nd Ave.
August 17th kicks off eight days of celebrating. To be sure you don’t miss anything, visit www.vinton150.org for a full schedule!
