Come with family, neighbors, and friends.  No need to drive "down the hill" to celebrate the Fourth.
Details are posted here:  "4TH of JULY" <http://www.deerhornvalley.net/4thofjuly.html>   We'd love an 


RSVP so we have an idea if we'll have 20... or 200 folks coming.  Questions: Email Karen Koop at 468-3627 or email Parade@deerhornvalley.net   Here's just a sample of those who've already RSVP'd:

• Antique Allis-Chambers Tractor (Mike Sandvig)
• 1946 Willy's Jeep (John Hughes)
• Antique cars (McNeill's... & Friends)
• Fox terriers in full regalia (Ms. Vicki)

• Deerhorn Station Firefighters (hoping they're not called out!)

SCHEDULE
1:00 PM -- Staging begins at the McNeill's oat field (across from the lower Elena Lane on Deerhorn Valley Rd.)


2:00 PM -- PARADE TIME! Strike up the band (boom-boxes with patriotic music welcome!)  We're marching to McKinley's Field. 


3:00 PM -- BRING YOUR OWN PICNIC  REMEMBER... this is not an organized potluck.  For a first-ever event, it was easiest to ask each group to bring their own picnic.  But... we'll have soft drinks, water, popcorn, sno-cones, and cotton candy (such is the plan!)  Buy your food tickets at the Ticket Table.  50¢ buys you any one item.  Such a deal!  We'll also have a few old-fashioned kids' games–– with goodie bags as prizes.

SEE YOU THERE!
