Entries open for annual Battleford parade
Anyone planning to take part in the Town of Battleford’s annual parade can sign up now, and entry forms are available on the town’s website. Those wishing to field a float will need to register in advance to participate in the big event, which is planned for Aug. 10.
“August seventh is really when we want to get all the entries in by,” Parks and Recreation Director Jordan Schechtel said.
Schechtel invited people to bring out their horses, commercial floats, and antique cars. He also encouraged youth groups and community bands to sign up and take part. He said he hopes to see a good turnout of participants for the parade’s 35th year.
“I think it’s important,” he said. “The community seems to really enjoy it, so it’s a good event.”
