DO LOVE A PARADE? COME TO THE LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MO JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION

Juneteenth is the oldest celebration of the ending of slavery. Considering what we have experienced this year, Juneteenth 2009 is a full circle. It is time for celebration. When there's freedom, it's always time to celebrate.

If you are like me, I love a parade. I don't know if it's the headlights of the police escort, or the proud honor guard, or the drum line of the marching band, or the cute clowns, it's a site to be cherished. A lot of people come out so they to must love a parade,too.

It is even more exciting being in one because you are the reason for why people come out to see this event.

This is an open invitation for groups or individuals to take part. We'd love to have more bands, drill teams, twirlers, horses, floats, etc. in our Juneteenth parade.

Be in the parade. Contact Linda Smith at 816-456-6654. She will get a parade form to you as soon as possible.
