The Rotary Club of Sunland-Tujunga/Shadow Hills welcomes our community to join us The theme of the parade is “Celebrating Arts in the Foothills.” An artist from McGroarty Arts Center is the Grand Marshal. We will have floats from the McGroarty Arts Center, Bolton Hall, Heaven on Earth Ranch and Century 21 among others. The Oldest Rock in Sunland-Tujunga will be joining us this year again along with marching bands, motorcycle groups, churches and equestrian groups to keep things lively along with scouts of all ages. The American Legion Color Guard and a huge flag will be opening the parade along with government officials. The Honorary Mayor Tom Smoker will be riding with Miss Tujunga Gissele Tohom. Award-winning vehicles will also be in the parade. So please… no water balloons, buckets or water cannons. This will
prevent any injury to people or property during this festive parade. For those who want a good soaking, join in behind the fire trucks that will be spraying water at the end of the parade to cool you off as usual. There is no entry fee for this event hosted by the S-T/SH Rotary Club. Applications are available at Sabrina.Godinez@essc.org or pick one up at OK Trophy in Sunland. Please get your applications in by July 1 to be placed in the line-up. Of course, you won’t be turned away after the 30th, but you will be placed farther back in the parade line-up.
