Parade entrants still wanted for Hope Heritage Days

There is still time to sign up for this weekend’s Hope Heritage Days parade.

The annual festival in northeastern Bartholomew County is celebrating its 50th year and organizers hope to make this the best parade ever. Michael Dean, CEO with Heritage of Hope, explains.

Dean says that you can still sign up in several categories, including horse-drawn entries, fire trucks and parade floats.

This year’s grand marshals will be former clerk-treasurers John and Shirley Robertson.

Dean gave credit to shop owner Adora Paetzel, who is organizing the parade for the first year.

Hope Heritage Days kicks off on Friday. The parade is Sunday with the military plane flyover at 2:15 p.m. and the parade itself starting at 2:30 p.m.. You can sign up online at hopeheritagedays.org
