As we celebrate our country’s independence, help show your support for the preservation of one of America’s greatest assets, our wilderness! Please come and march with the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness in a parade near you! FSPW will be participating in parades in Sandpoint, Clark Fork, Noxon, Heron, and Troy.
Wear your FSPW apparel! Even if you’re just attending the parade and not actually marching, we’d love to have you show your support!
For the Sandpoint 4th of July parade, meet at the corner of 5th and Church between 9:30 and 9:45 a.m. The parade begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. We’re continuing with the theme “Will Work for Wilderness,” so be sure to make up a cardboard sign that shows your enthusiasm for wilderness! For any questions contact Phil Hough at phil@scotchmanpeaks.org.
For the Clark Fork 4th of July parade, assemble between 9:00 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. at the FSPW float. The float will be in the parade line-up, which is the side street off of Hwy 200 at the Cenex station. The parade begins at 9:30 a.m. For any questions contact Neil Wimberley at neilwim@yahoo.com.
