On July 24, our volunteers had a wonderful time hosting the Kids Parade during the City of Camas’ annual Camas Days celebration! This year’s theme was “Celebrating 50 Years of Camas Days and 250 Years of America,” and the turnout and costumes did not disappoint.
From fire trucks, stilt walkers and llamas to patriotic costumes, hippies with their VW van, and even George Washington crossing the Delaware, the creativity was amazing. Costume winners dressed as a classic ice cream truck, soda jerks, and even a baby ice cream cone served as the Grand Marshals.
A special thank you to Boy Scout Troop 562 for carrying the parade banners and Camas City Council Member Marilyn Boerke for assisting with costume judging.
And thank you to our volunteers who participated this year – Michelle Craig, Cathy Fravel, Jeanne Lightburn, Stacy Mathieson, Peggy Nitschke, Kathy Park, Marcia Robison, Cindy Schart, Ann Smits, Bonnie Webberly, and Lori Wompole. With well-deserved kudos going to Pam Tetz, our VP of Resource Development for working tirelessly with the Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce to make this wonderful community tradition possible.
