Publicize Junior Lilac Parade

The Junior Lilac Parade, 61 years young, is filled with the youth of our area. Did you see it advertised? Youth come from Colville Junior High, Chewelah, Logan Elementary, Camp Fire USA, Boy and Girl Scouts, North Pines Middle School, Garry Middle School, Evergreen Middle School, Greenacres Middle School, Spokane Shadow Youth Soccer, Horizon Middle School, Deer Park Middle School, Shaw Middle School, University Elementary School, Cheney Middle School, Mountainside Middle School, Kennewick Middle School, Medical Lake Middle School, to name a few.

I didn’t see it advertised until Friday’s entertainment section, with the route on Page 8. It is said throughout April, “Our Kids: Our Business,” but when it really comes down to it, is it the revenue? It is a self-sustaining parade, funded by the entries.

Why not publicize the Junior Lilac Parade? It really is a celebration of youth.

P.S. I hope to see the combines the wheat farmers use next year. They are awesome!
