If your business, organization, school, college, church, service club or civic organization would like to follow in the footsteps of Rolla pioneers, make history, and have a lot of fun while doing it, then we have a place for you in the Rolla Sesquicentennial Parade on Saturday, June 4 at 10 a.m. in downtown Rolla. The theme of the parade is “Rolla – Then and Now”, and will consist of the 15 historic decades that make up the City’s past 150 years as a community. Do you have a classic car, truck or even stagecoach or wagon you would like to showcase in the parade? Is your business, service club or organization celebrating a significant anniversary? Do you have a piece of Rolla history such as an old sign, vintage marquee, piece of farm equipment or other historic artifact? Has your school, college or business celebrated milestones throughout the past few years that you would like to showcase to the community? If so, we would love to include your entry and invite you to be part of Rolla’s Sesquicentennial Parade that will trace the footsteps of our ancestors along historic U.S. Route 66 on Pine Street.
To register for your opportunity to ‘make history’ and be a part of this Rolla living history parade, please contact Larry Stratman, Chairman of the Sesquicentennial Parade, at 364-3291 or Aimee Campbell at 364-3577. Several entries have already been made, but we are looking for even more interest and participation as we get closer to Rolla’s Sesquicentennial Celebration on Saturday, June 4.
