SUMMARY:Grandville Parade
DESCRIPTION:Grandville 4th of July Parade is always a fun event. Other Dems in Grandville are always over the moon when they see us! We have faced opposition before\, so if you can help make our presence felt\, we would appreciate it! We will line up on Wilson at “old” 44th at 9:30am for a 10am start. This parade does not end where it starts\, so I suggest parking in the middle and walking to the start point. Or you can always bring a friend and stage a car at the end of the route at Prairie Rd \nSign Up to be a Parade Walker!
