June 20, 2014 (Descanso)—The public is invited to join the fun at the 45th Annual Descanso Days Parade and Fair on July 12, 2014. It promises to be another great backcountry event at the Descanso Town Hall!
This year’s Parade theme is “Bonnets & Boots,” and we expect a great turnout from the local area, as well as good friends from all over San Diego County and beyond a press release for the event states. There will be prizes for the best parade entries in several categories. The parade starts at 10 a.m.
Cheer for the Luke Barbour Scholarship winners – Tessa Cardinal and Katherine Certuche – who will each receive $1500.
Listen to live music while you enjoy scrumptious pit-BBQ’ed beef (cooked by the master chefs of Pine Valley Mountain Riders). Just Friends will start the musical lineup with their bluegrass twang at 11am, followed by Steve Hill and the Hill Country Band on the KSON flat bed stage from 1-5pm.
There will be a variety of activities especially for kids, including wheelbarrow races, an egg toss, and a nail driving contest; as well as a Best Bonnet competition for all ages.
Try your luck at the raffles and silent auction. Prizes include Sea World tickets, $250 in cash, Aztec tickets, dinner and golf packages, a free Descanso Town Hall rental, 10 bales of hay, a Disneyland Family Ticket Pack, plus a variety of gift baskets and other fun items.
“We hope to see you there on Saturday, July 12th, at 10 a.m.at 24536 Viejas Grade Road, Descanso,” the event release states. “Remember, the roads close at 9:30am and re-open after the Parade, so come early and stay for the whole day.”
