Fourth of July Parade Update!

We will be on a tritoon boat this year for the parade, so be sure to wear lace-up tennis shoes and a waiver will need to be signed on Thursday morning to ride on it. We are able to start decorating at 6 pm on Wednesday, July 3. Please contact Tracy Chapple 317-501-9930 for address details. On July 4 at 8:30 am, we will meet at the Winn Dixie parking lot near CVS to finish decorating. Wear your most patriotic red, white, and blue and be ready for a fun day!
