7th Annual Veterans Appreciation Parade

Please mark your calendar for this year's Veterans Appreciation Parade to take place on November 10, 2007 in downtown Brooksville.
This year the parade is being sponsored by the Hernando County Fine Arts Council. The Arts Council has graciously assisted us in providing an insurance certificate which is being funded with the donations of some generous individuals in our community. The donation list includes Dr. James King from Pasco County, T. Jennene Norman-Vacha/Brooksville city manager, Henry and Janet Searcy, Tony & Anna Liisa Covell and Wayne Dukes. My sincere thanks go out to all our contributors, along with a special mention of thanks to Bob Haa, talk show host of WWJB. Bob has been instrumental in keeping this parade alive each year by allowing us to come on his morning program to pitch the parade.
Our parade will be the kick-off event at 10 a.m., followed by a concert by the Hernando Youth Orchestra. Later in the afternoon the Bandshell Bash committee will present a concert with the famous "Cab Calloway'".
Sue Rupe, Hernando County Tourist Development has reserved the 100 sq. ft. WW II traveling museum from the Florida Museum in Tallahassee. This traveling museum will be in town for the salute to veterans on November 10th.
Please mark your calendars and plan to spend the entire day in downtown Brooksville salute our veterans on November 10, 2007.
More details about the parade will be made in the coming weeks! Stay Tuned...
