Participants in the youth parade are asked to line up in front of the Okanogan County Community Action building on South Second Avenue. The kids' parade starts at 11 a.m., with the grand parade following. During the parade, throwing candy or other items from entries is not allowed, said Kellie Goetz, parade organizer. With large trucks and farm equipment in the parade, it's too dangerous to have children retrieving candy from the street, she explained. Entrants can walk along beside entries and hand out candy to youngsters, she said.
Sponsors also ask that there be no water fights along the parade route or near activities.
The pool will reopen for the season with a free swim from 1-5 p.m. Wednesday, June 10. Family and season passes are available. More information about Okanogan Days is available from Goetz at 422-5562. How to get your copy of The Omak-Okanogan County Chronicle.
