Fourth of July in Saxtons River, Vermont
NOTE: Thisis typical of what happens most years. There's a new theme each year and parade entries try to match the theme.
Pat Fowler of Village Square Booksellers is Treasurer of the Committee. If you'd like to be in a future parade or perform as a band or volunteer to help out, she can put you in touch with the right committee member. We can always use volunteers!
