Carnation Festival Parade

Dear Carnation Parade Participant,

As Chairman of the 2011 Carnation Festival Parade in Wheat Ridge, I would like personally to invite your organization to participate in our 42nd Annual Carnation Parade down 38th Avenue on Saturday, August 20 at 10:00 AM.

The Parade is just one part of our Carnation Festival celebration, which kicks off on Friday, August 19 at Anderson Park (44th Avenue and Field Street) and finishes on Saturday, August 20. There will be a midway, food and games, crafts and exhibits, dance bands, an art show, fireworks, and great fun for kids of all ages!

I’ve included some information and an entry form for your participation in this year’s Parade. Please get involved! It’s fun and it’s free! All you have to do is to think of an enjoyable way for your group to join in the Parade.

Please return the completed form ASAP to ensure entry, and please no later than August 1.

The Festival can boast that the Parade has always been free to all participants and also is one of the few parades in the Denver metro area that doesn’t charge an entry fee. The Festival Committee intends to continue this tradition because it helps keep the Parade open to everyone and also enhances a spirit of friendship and enjoyment. I do recognize that the Parade participants devote time, energy, and expense to preparing their entries, and for this I would like to extend thanks from the Festival Committee. The Parade does, however, have expenses such as sound system rental, printing and mailing costs, and supplies for our Parade volunteers. Since we began asking for donations several years ago, the Wheat Ridge community has been very responsive. Your contributions have supported not only the Parade, but also the Festival as a whole – including the fireworks display, the entertainment, and the art show, all of which are free. If your organization can make a donation to support the Parade and Festival this year, we would much appreciate your generosity. You can donate along with your entry form or use the “Donate” button on the Festival web site (http://thecarnationfestival.com/).

Please e-mail or call if there are questions – I promise to respond to all messages.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 20 for a great time! We look forward to seeing you.

Best regards,

Steve Keller
2011 Parade Chairman
