2024 Summer Parade Season

From the President's Desk...

Summer is here, and the weather certainly feels like it! Officially, summer began with the Summer Solstice, which took place on June 20. Unofficially, the heat, humidity, and thunderstorms have been with us far in advance of that official first day of summer.

During this fun time of year, there are plenty of things to enjoy. Those could be backyard cookouts with family and friends, watching the fireworks on Independence Day, or perhaps taking in a baseball game. One rite of passage in many small towns involves town celebrations and parades. With that in mind, here's a quick reminder where you can find your WCF friends participating in several of these upcoming parades, including…

• July 4 - Williams
• July 4 - Independence
• July 23 - Webster City (Hamilton County Fair Parade)

I hope you take the opportunity to get outside and take part in the various summer festivals. When you see us in these parades, make sure to give us a wave, and you might just get some candy tossed your way!
