We’ll be participating in the FIBARK Parade in Salida on Saturday, June 20.
( FIBARK: First In Boating on the ARKansas.)
Colorado Senator Gail Schwartz will be participating in the parade and we want to show her our enthusiastic support. We won’t be doing a float but want to have a huge gaggle of Dems carrying signs and having a ball! This will be a lot of fun and will show the Dem presence in an upbeat and positive way. We want a LOT of folks there. everybody come! Lineup is at 8:30 a.m. and the parade begins at 10:00. In a couple of days we’ll be sending out details of whom to contact, where to meet, etc.
Other important events for us this summer will be:
Independence Day parades
Buena Vista 10:00 a.m.
Salida 3:00 p.m.
Annual BBQ Saturday, July 25, during the Collegiate Peaks Music Festival.
2000 to 4000 people are expected for the Festival, and we’re hoping to draw a big crowd from them. A possible venue for the BBQ is the Buena Vista Community Center, and we may prepare and serve the food ourselves to save the catering fee.
