We will kick off the day with the Parade at 11:30 AM before the much anticipated Centennial Fair begins at 12 PM. Design your own “float“ and help create the parade with your neighbors and family! Decorate your cars, golf carts, bicycles or walking group. Or just come watch! The theme, “100 years of Forest and Friendship“ sets the tone for a celebration deeply rooted in the green forest of our hills. All parade entries will be entered into a drawing for a prize!  More
