We just want everyone to come out and have fun. This is a fun event for the entire family.

This year's event will be bigger and better than last year. Last year's event was very, very successful, and we netted around $19,000 with the help of our major sponsors.

Following the parade, will be the 15-piece Harp and Thistle Pipe Band of Southwest Florida. They will have a 30-minute show under the main tent until 4:30 p.m.

Last year we had 598 attending; this year we hope for 1,000 under the big tent.
