The Clarkston Rotary Club is set to present its annual Labor Day Parade on Monday, Sept. 1.
This is the 63rd year the Rotary has run the parade in Clarkston. The parade will begin on Church Street and travel north along Main Street through downtown Clarkston.
“We are pretty much all set to go,” Rotary president Joel DeLong said.
This year’s parade will have approximately 35-40 entries participating. The parade will include the color guard, Vietnam War veterans and the Clarkston High School marching band.
This year’s theme will be “Lend a Hand,” based on the Rotary theme chosen by the 2003-04 Rotary International President, Jonathon Majiyagbe, a lawyer from Nigeria.
The Grand Marshall for the parade will be Ken Winship, a 40-year resident of Clarkston and owner of Winship Studio.
“We are very excited about the big day,” DeLong said. “We always have fun and this really begins our busy season. This kicks off most of our events as a Rotary.”
