Plans have been announced for the annual City of Milano Fourth of July parade and hot dog luncheon. The theme for this year’s parade is “A Grand Old Flag.”
All individuals, groups and organizations are invited to be a part of the parade. Create your own float; decorate a vehicle, walk, skate, dance or march to show your patriotism. Horses, buggies and wagons are a tradition in the line-up of the parade.
Line up begins at 9:30 a.m. at the MISD football field parking lot. Judging begins at 10 a.m., with entries needing to be ready to go by 9:55 a.m. to be eligible for judging.
The parade will kick off at 10:30 a.m., head south on Fifth Street, go under the US 79/TX 36 viaduct and travel through downtown past the post office, circling around past the Baptist and Methodist churches, ending up at the Milano Civic Center.
Plaques will be awarded at the Civic Center after the parade. Awards will be given out in the following divisions: Best overall, floats, bicycles/walkers/small animals, vehicles and tractors, small motorized/battery operated (go-carts, four-wheelers, lawn mowers, etc.), horses/wagons.
A free hot dog lunch with all of the trimmings will be served immediately following the parade inside the Civic Center. For more information, contact Mayor Rodney
