Kick-off home tour weekend with a parade May 7

by Pat Bradley, FNA president
While we do not have 76 trombones leading the parade (unless you provide them) we did prove last year that we can have a terrific parade—even if it rains on our parade. This year’s parade is shaping up nicely, but as usual we need your help.

I challenge the creative neighbors of Fairmount (you know you are) to have a little friendly competition and enter the parade. I know there are a lot of dogs in Fairmount—dozens walk past my house daily. How about dressing your dog in costume? A float done by friends and neighbors? Show us what you’ve got.

If you don’t feel like being in the parade—we need a lot of viewers—to keep people coming back to participate. If you live on the parade route, plan a porch or curb watching party. And if you do live on the route, moving your vehicle off the street that morning would be very helpful.

If you would like to participate or help with the parade, contact Pat Bradley at 817-915-5436 or email president@historicfairmount.com. You do not have to live in Fairmount to be in the parade. Everyone is invited and everyone is welcome to join!

The parade begins at 10 a.m. with the line-up beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 7. Everyone is welcome!
