There’s still time to be in Beavercreek parade
BEAVERCREEK — If you ever wanted to march in a parade, city parks workers are offering a Independence Day chance to strut your stuff.
Residents have until 5 p.m. Thursday, July 2, to sign up to march or ride in the city’s Fourth of July Parade beginning 6 p.m. at Meadowbridge Drive. Anyone can participate. Kids can decorate their bikes, or their dog for that matter, said Jackie Dell, of the parks department. Have an old parade float taking up space in the back of the garage — perfect.
“We really want to get back to the old type community parades,” Dell said. “In these tough times we need to get together and celebrate.” About 60 groups have already signed up, but Dell hopes for a final wave of participants who want to celebrate Independence Day.
Applications to be in the parade are available the city web site here or by calling the parks department at (937) 427-5514.
Beavercreek’s July Fourth festivities start at 6 p.m. with the parade from Meadowbridge Drive down Dayton-Xenia Road to Beavercreek High School. Then crowds are invited to Rotary Park for food, music and games followed by fireworks.
