We hope you are getting your parade float planned or are checking out the spot you want to plant your lawn chair for the August 3rd Thetis Island Parade.
We may not be the biggest parade…heck, we may even be the smallest parade, but Islanders are creative and like to have fun.
The Fabulous Forbes Hall Library Book & Bake Sale is being held that morning at the Community Centre and they are selling lunches there too. So you can put your float in the line up on Mission Road early, buy some books and cookies, eat a great lunch, and be ready for the parade kick-off. We hope to start down Mission Road at about 1:30, head down North Cove Road to Pilkey Point Road and then down the hill to Marina Drive, loop around Telegraph Harbour Marina and back up the hill. The viewing crowds get to cheer twice! Special appearance for the kids…Sparky, the Fire Prevention Dog.
There will be a poster contest for any child aged up to 11 years old to ride at the front of the parade in the Fire Engine. Details in a later e-Spokes.
