The Alleghany County Sesquicentennial Committee is accepting entries for the Sesquicentennial Parade to be held Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 2:00 pm. Our goal is to make this the parade the largest in the County’s history. The parade will be videoed and narrated and will be archived with all the other Sesquicentennial events.

Since this is the Sesquicentennial parade, we are honoring and remembering the past 150 years. We invite you to dress in clothes from any period since 1859. Walk, make a float, ride a buggy, car, bicycle, lawnmower, horse, tractor, or anything else you can think of.

The Second Marine Aircraft Wing Band from Cherry Point, NC will march in the parade. Marching bands are
invited to be in the parade, as well.

Early registration is highly recommended by Wednesday, September 23. Late arrivals will be placed at the
back of the parade after all the pre-registered entries.

For more information on the parade, contact Barbara Lucier, Sparta Main Street Coordinator, at Sparta Revitalization Committee.
