The Neighborhood Club sponsors the Independence Day celebration this year on Friday, July 4th, 2008. Registration for the annual parade begins at 8:45 a.m. at the Union Fire House. The parade route is the same as last year. The parade begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Union Fire Association on Montgomery Avenue and ends at the Bala Cynwyd Playground. As always, the parade features neighborhood children riding decorated bicycles, marchers in costumes, clowns, floats, fire trucks, police, and public officials.
Bring your beach chairs and blankets and enjoy a patriotic program including music provided by Elaine Watts and The Summer Sounds Pop Band, salute the flag with Boy Scout Troop Bala 1, and applaud our Citizen of the Year. Foot races for all ages and carnival games will follow the ceremony.
Prizes will be awarded to parade participants as well as to the winners of the races. The Club will award a prize to the house along the parade route that displays the best patriotic decorations. Start decorating!
A small, motorized train will circle the grounds, complementing our moonbounce, extreme rock wall, bungie run, pony rides, and petting zoo. As always, the Union Fire Association will serve food and beverages. Please come join us on the 4th.
