Mandan Special Olympics Will Lead 4th of July Parade
The Mandan Independence Day Parade Committee has chosen its grand marshals for this year, and they won`t all fit on the back of a convertible.
This year`s theme is "Stars On the Prairie" so it`s only fitting members of the Mandan Special Olympics should lead the parade.
Stars will shine in Mandan on July 4th
The Mandan Independence Day Parade and Street Festival Committee expects many "stars" at this years parade. The 2011 theme is "Stars on the Prairie." People are encouraged to dress as their favorite actor, actress, musician, politician or historical figure states event Co-Chairperson Dennis Friesz. Bring your camera as everyone will have a reason to snap a few photographs.

Classic Car Parade
The parade committee welcomes everyone to the Independence Day Classic Car Parade.
We ask that you are in the Midway Lanes Parking Lot by 8:00 a.m.
The parade will start at 8:15 a.m. You can line up however you like.
When you reach the west end of Main, you will turn around and then go park at an intersection that we assigned to you. At 8:45 a.m., you will turn your radio on and tune it to Cool 98.7. It is OK to turn it up. At 9:00 a.m., Chubby Checkers "Twist" will play at which time you will be part of setting a world record for the longest and largest Twist.
Once the Twist is over, you will proceed west to the parking area.
The grassy area just west of Cass Clay on Main in Mandan will be reserved for Classic Car Parade participants to park and watch the Grand Parade.
A map and all instructions will be provided at the Midway Lanes Staging Area. You may forward this email to anyone you think may be interested in participating. All participation in the Classic Car parade is FREE! A unit in the Grand Parade is $35 to $60 so enjoy the savings.
