Tri-C
Annual Lollipop Parade, September 8, 2013
Come one, come all to the Annual Tri-C Lollipop
Parade! The parade will be on Sunday, September 8. The theme this
year is This Land is Your Land to
honor all in the agricultural business. The Tri-C Community of
Clyde, Conception, and Conception Junction have many farms, some managed by the
same families for generations, and there are many others in the community who
are in the agriculture business.
The Lollipop Parade will be held on Sunday,
September 8, in Conception Jct. beginning at 3:00 p.m. Participants and
organizations in the parade are encouraged to dress and decorate themselves,
their bikes, floats, etc. as those in the agri-business. Dutch and Mary
Luke, long-time farmers and members of the Tri-C Community, will serve as the
parade’s Grand Marshals.
Those who wish to participate in the parade are
asked to meet at 2:30 p.m. in front of the MFA of downtown Conception
Jct. The parade route will follow the highway then turn onto Berry Street
and end at the park next to the American Legion.
Everyone gathered at the park will recite the
Pledge of Allegiance, sing The Star Spangled Banner, and sing together “This
Land is Your Land.” Then the all-important, and highly-anticipated, final
segment of the event will be the handing out of lollipops to anyone who goes
down the big slide in the park.
The St. Columba Parish Social will follow the
Lollipop Parade festivities beginning at 4:00 p.m.
in the church’s hall and parking lot.
Separate entry:
The Tri-C Community Development Organization
will hold a bake sale at the Parish Social. Donations for this walk will be
appreciated.
Baked goods can be left in the church hall anytime before 4:00
p.m. the day of the Parish Social.
