Committee Calls for Participants for September 13 Troy Daze Parade

 

Also Seeking Grand Marshal Nominations

 

 

(TROY, MI) – The Troy Daze Festival Committee is encouraging community participation for the Troy Daze Parade on Saturday, September 13 at 10 am.  The parade route will begin at Troy High School and move south on Northfield Parkway to Boulan Park.

 

“We are so excited to continue this great family event for the Troy community,” Parade Chair Diana McKay said.  “Once we had grandchildren we felt it was important to step up and help bring the parade together for the kids.  It’s a great way to be a part of the spirit of Troy Daze.”

 

McKay noted they are seeking parade participants including floats, school organizations, dance, musical, karate and church groups.  Community organizations are also welcome.  In addition, the committee is also looking for Grand Marshal nominations.

 

““Nominations may be made with a letter of recommendation of 100 words or less,” McKay said.  “We had a terrific set of nominations last year.  In fact, if you nominated someone last year, please be sure to re-send that nomination for the panel to consider. ”

 

For more information or to join the parade effort contact McKay at 248.515.4227, e-mail her at diana_lynnmckay@hotmail.com, or see the website at www.troymi.gov/troydaze.
