Parades, cookouts, games and more in store as summer events are finalized

As we look forward to the busy summer, much of the schedule information for the big events in Caribou County is finalized.  The 4th of July parade in Soda Springs will proceed as usual—the map of the route and schedule of event can be found on Page 2 of the paper.  This year’s parade Grand Marshals are Frank and Jo Ann Chadwick, who we will feature in next week’s edition.  

Events in Bancroft for the 24th of July are unchanged, as far as has been decided at this point.  We spoke with McKayla McLain of the Rodeo Committee, who stated that the breakfast at the Lions Den would still be held in that location unless a decision was made later to change locations.  The building is immediately next to two of the structures that burned in last week’s fire.  Otherwise, though, the rodeo is celebrating its 127th year as the most entertaining rodeo in the area, and event should have an extra level of emotion to them this year.  Kareen Crockett has been named the Grand Marshal, and you can read more about her on Page 4.  We will preview specifics for the rodeo event schedule in July the week before the events.

The Caribou County Fair is also proceeding according to schedule, with Emma Christensen having been named the Grand Marshal.  You can also read about her on Page 4, and we will be providing much more detailed previews of the Fair as it approaches.  Don’t forget about your chance to open for the Fair Concert by submitting a video of your music to the judges at [email protected].
