(KLZA)-- It’s time to think about the Falls City Cobblestone parade, which will be held on Saturday, August 20, 2022, at 11:00 a.m.

There are two things to consider right now: parade entries, and nominations for the grand marshal of the parade.

The theme for this year’s parade is “The Neon Nineties.” The committee is looking for entries in categories such as business/commercial, churches/organizations, large implements, small implements, people walking, kids riding bikes, classic cars, demo derby cars, and just about anything else you can think of.

Last year, during the sting of Covid, our float entries were down, and the parade committee would like to build those back up.

Even if the entry isn’t a float, or part of the parade theme, it is wanted. Summer rec ball teams, large combines, fire trucks, kids riding bikes are all welcome to take part in the parade.

To enter the parade, either fill out an entry form at the Falls City Chamber Office at 1705 Stone Street, or send the name of the entry, contact person, and contact person’s cell phone number to gottula79@gmail.com, or by text to 402-245-8145.

Secondly, the parade committee is looking for nominees for the position of grand marshal. This is like a lifetime achievement award, and should be a person, couple, or group that has made Falls City a better place to live through volunteer service, monetary philanthropy, and/or leadership.

“Letters of nomination can be dropped off or mailed to the Falls City Chamber office, or emailed to gottula79@gmail.com. They can also be snail mailed to Lori Gottula, 71833 Hwy 50, Steinauer, NE 68441.

Please make sure the letters detail the nominee’s contributions. The more information that the committee has, the better. Letters of nomination can also be backed up by support letters.

The entries are due by August 1, 2022. For more information about anything regarding the parade, contact Gottula.
