Fourth of July Float

This year's parade will begin an hour earlier than previous year's. The start time will be at 9:00 am. We need as many members along with family to march and pass out fliers for Beat The Heat, and to make a good showing. Its fun and good exercise. If you can dress in a Flagstaff Flyer shirt and hat, or something patriotic. We would like one WWII fighter, a WWI fighter, a 3D plane, a scale plane, and a glider or slope soarer for the float, as well as at least one helicopter for the float.
