4th of July Parade/Community Day/Ducky Race

[mkr]

I am starting to gather my list of parade participants! The more the merrier! We love being known as the parade that throws tons of candy! Lots of fun this year! See below flyer for contact info.

We will be having two race cars (Boutin Racing and Jennifer Getty) in the parade and THEN they are driving into the cul-de-sac of the rec park for pictures and autographs. The kids get to get up close and look at a race car!  The Fairfax rescue squad is also looking to drive the new ambulance down after the parade as well into the cul-de-sac (Pending no emergencies).  We hope to have more as well.

This year we will have a Horse Plop Event in the park after the parade. This fundraiser is for the PTSA to continue to provide wonderful events as well for our BFA students.  Be sure to purchase a square for this one of a kind event! (More details to come with contact info for purchase of squares)

This year we are working on several vendors for the park for food. Eastman's Bakery will be there with their DELICIOUS homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches to purchase!

We are also going to have the Girl Scouts will be doing games like sac races and possibly a spoon race!

We also will be having music by FFW Band and Troy Millette and Company!

There will be some games for children as well for nominal charge as fundraisers. Bouncy Castle and other games to be announced soon!

Then the FAMOUS DUCKY RACE @ 3:30pm!  Don't forget to purchase your ducky tickets!  The Fairfax Rec Park will also be selling them in the park until 3pm that day, but for now stop in to your local businesses and purchase them from them today!
