Everybody Loves a Parade





This will be the fiftieth annual Garberville Rodeo Parade. The Garberville Rotary club will, once again, be in charge of the parade. Everyone is making a special effort to make it the biggest and best yet.

Dennis O’Sullivan has been sending letters of invitation to everyone who has participated in the past, and also invitations are been sent to those who might be interested in becoming part of the big event for the first time. Dennis has even invited outside of the area participants to be involved this year. In the past, just to be involved in the parade, people used to send floats from as far away as Fort Bragg. It was quite common to have floats from Eureka and Fortuna. The Applications to Enter the Parade will be available on the second week of May.

Dan Healy will be providing the sound system and announcing. Dan has done the announcing for so many years no one remembers how long ago he started. And we expect he will be outdoing himself this year.

It should prove to be the best year ever for the kids. Parade participants are being encouraged to bring gifts of candy and balloons, and maybe some other surprises to hand out during the parade.

The Parade will be held on June the 16th 2007. There will be a pancake breakfast at the Redwood Mall starting at 7:00 am. The parade will start at 11:00 am sharp. Everyone knows that when the Rotary Club say’s that they are going to start on time, they start on time! So be there!

The parade will be followed by a Steak Barbecue and Rodeo at Greycliff Acres on East Branch road.
