LaPorte Jaycees announced that it will not be hosting this year’s 75th Annual 4th of July Parade in the City of La Porte, but will be hosted for the first time by the Kiwanis Club of La Porte. “Kiwanis Club is honored to be part of one of La Porte’s longest-standing and most cherished traditions,” said Kiwanis Club President Drummond Osborn. Parade Starts at 10:00 am.
“‘The Kiwanis Club of LaPorte is excited to play a major role in this year’s 4th of July parade,” Osborn said. ‘This opportunity couldn’t fit better with our club as we celebrate our 100th anniversary this year. Kiwanis’ mission of being dedicated to improving the world one community and one child at a time is in complete lockstep with helping bring this community tradition to the children and adults in the area.’
“Upon learning that the Jaycees would be unable to sponsor the event this year, the City of La Porte began approaching organizations within the community in hopes that one would be willing to take it on. When asked, the La Porte Kiwanians were excited to take on the challenge.
“‘We were sorry to learn that the Jaycees were unable to be involved this year but are very appreciative for all their prior work and dedication to the parade. They’ve definitely set the bar high,’ Osborn said.
“The Kiwanis Club is grateful for the help and guidance of Joy Zigler and Dawn Zigler, who for many years helped to organize and run the parade.
“Additional information about this year’s parade will be forthcoming in the very near future. For immediate questions on La Porte’s 75th annual 4th of July Parade begins at 10am. Please contact Drummond Osborn at info@Kiwanis4thofJulyParade.
