Lenexa Community Days Parade - July 4
Parade Info Here. Louie Louie Band is #13 again this year. Please meet us at our spot on Santa Fe between Park and 95th St. by 9:30am. Look for #13 painted along the street curbs. Parents, they will also be close 95th St between Pflumm and Santa Fe so you'll need to figure that in with your drop off. For those needing equipment, it will be available in the Apria parking lot (on 95th St) at 9:15am. Sorry, but you'll have to walk over to pick it up and then walk over to the staging area.

The Szczesnys will have t-shirts at their house on Thursday if anyone wants to pick them up before Saturday. Otherwise, we will have them at the staging area. (If you didn't sign up in time to get this year's t-shirt, wear either a shirt from a previous year or any white t-shirt.)

You will finish at Bonjour. Ask Cheryl King-Raya where you should leave the equipment that needs to be returned to West. Don't forget to pick up your popsicle. Most of us stick around for the awards ceremony after the parade. It's actually easiest to walk over to Bonjour to meet the kids there or have them meet you away from the parade route.

See you on Saturday! For other questions contact louielouie@bandaides.org.
