MLK Parade

Hello Everyone,

As you all know, January 16th is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Each year on this historic day, the HFV Wilson Community Center hosts a parade to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s fight for justice, equality, and the continued progress of our country.

This year GSCC has been asked to participate, and we would love for anyone who is able and willing to come walk with us in the parade.

I will be at Cardinal Park (P street Baseball fields) at 8:45 AM on January 16th to start decorating my car. If you would like to participate in the parade, I ask that you arrive by 9:00 AM. The parade is scheduled to begin at 10 AM.

The parade route will be from Cardinal Park to MLK BLVD (We will take either N street or P street depending on how many parade entries are present). We will follow MLK BLVD down to F Street and take F Street down to the Community Center.

The route is essentially a big circle. I am willing to give rides back to the park from the community center as long as the road is open to do so. If not, it is a short walk back to the park. 

There will also be a short program at the community center at 12 PM if you would like to attend, but that is not required to be a part of the parade. 

I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.

If you have any questions please text or call me at 580-504-4217.
