4th of July Parade and Booth | |
| June 28th, 2011 |
Please join the Douglas County Republicans
at the
Highlands Ranch 4th of July Celebration! To celebrate Highlands Ranch's 30th Anniversary, the HRCA has arranged an
F-16 Fly Over from Buckley Air Force Base near the start time of the parade. Watch for them approaching from the west. The jets will be very quiet upon approach,
so be watching the skies around 9:00 a.m. in order to watch them fly over the parade.
We will have a float in the parade and a booth in the “south” part of the Town Center Area of Highlands Ranch.
Below are details for both the booth and parade. If you would like to help out, man the booth, or walk in the parade, please contact the listed chairs for each portion. If you have any other questions, please contact Vice Chairman Sandi Gregston at
thegregstons@hotmail.com.
