Bicentennial Parade needs Participants & Spectators!
Word has gotten out that on June 21, a grand Masonic parade will be held in downtown Columbus, just prior to the reenactment of the cornerstone laying ceremony for the Statehouse and the Masonic Family picnic at the Ohio Village.
Every Brother Mason needs to know that he and his family are invited to participate in the day’s activities. “We want the whole Masonic family to be represented, but it won’t be much of a parade if we don’t have anyone watching along the way,” said Grand Master Winnett. “We’ve planned June 21st as a celebration for the whole family. This would even be a great opportunity to let potential members see what Freemasonry is all about.”
Those planning on attending the festivities should park at the Ohio Village, 1982 Velma Avenue, Columbus. Buses will be available starting at 8:30 a.m. to shuttle everyone to the Statehouse and back to the Ohio Village for the picnic.
The parade will begin at 10am. The cornerstone ceremony will take place sometime between 11am and 11:30am, and the picnic will follow immediately after this ceremony.
All those wishing to march in the parade must complete and turn in a registration form.
If you have any questions, please call Chad Simpson at 800-292-6092.
