Western Welcome Week Parade
When: 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Dress in Purple and Gold!
*SPECIAL PARADE UPDATE:
We don’t have room for any more riders on our float, but there are plenty of spots open for you to walk with the float. Of course, spectators are encouraged! Come be in the parade with our class!
If you plan to walk with our float, please let us know by sending an email to LHS69@gmail.com or send us a message on this web site! Alternatively, please email Patty Gastl VanGilder directly at 44trinka@gmail.com
- To be in the Parade, participants need to be at the parade staging area between 8:00 am and 9:15 am. The parade staging area is located at Library Lane and Gallup Street (on the north side of Gallup Park) between 8:00am -9:15am. Deborah (Phipps) Beasley will be at the staging area to check in all of our parade participants.
- Parking is very limited, so it is highly recommended that you park in lot A at Arapahoe Community College and ride the shuttle bus to the staging area. This is a free ride. ACC is the parade ‘de-staging’ area, so your car will be close by at the parade’s conclusion.
- If you have a purple or gold shirt, please wear it. Otherwise wear white. (If neither works - no big deal).
- A step stool will be on hand for any needing a little assistance.
- Please come prepared for a hot day - bring a hat and use sun screen. We encourage you to bring your own water bottle.
- The parade route starts at Littleton Boulevard and Gallup, and proceeds down Littleton Boulevard/Main Street to Rapp Street and then to ACC. The parade ends at about lot A at ACC.
- We have been cautioned that no tossing of candy or any other items(s) from the float or participants will be tolerated due to safety concerns.
- Our float will be decorated at the staging area as we wait for the parade to begin. We are not doing anything elaborate or fancy so it shouldn’t take long! If you want to help, please come join us.
