This was the first time in many years I've done anything to celebrate the 4th. And then the pardee continued at markham inn after the event!!
Weather was perfect, the spectator turnout was huge, and the Binder Bee was promoted!
These parades are by far our best opportunity to increase our profile in the various communities around oregon, the spin-off from this kind of stuff goes on all year long. And as lonnie has mentioned, these events are one club function all of us can participate in as a group.
Our club officers have done a superb job this year in putting these events together, and the net effect is a major increase in new folks coming into the club with all sorts of interests in the IH world!
