Old
Fashioned July 4th Celebration & Pet
Parade...
July 4, 2009

If you
are looking for a special way to
celebrate July 4th, start the day with
Bend's most historical event, the Pet
Parade, where children of all ages bring
their special pet (we've seen dogs -
large & small, llamas, horses, lizards,
goats, and lots of stuffed animals) to
parade through downtown Bend. It's one
of the most unique parades you'll ever
see! Decorating and lineup starts at
9:30am and the parade begins at 10am. No
registration necessary. Line up is on
Wall Street next to the School
Administration building. No rabbits or
cats please. Kids will receive a
keepsake and popsicle.
Then join the rest of the community for
our traditional event in Drake Park. The
July 4th Festival goes from 11am - 4pm.
You'll find craft and food booths, old
fashioned games like three legged races,
watermelon eating and water balloon
contests as well as wonderful live
entertainment.
For more information contact the
Bend Parks & Recreation Department

portray a beautiful image. It will
