Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back

Everybody loves a parade. And Kane Area Relay organizers are expecting a spirited parade on Fraley Street from Poplar to Chestnut Streets on Thursday, July 10 at 6 p.m.

Relay committee organizers hope residents of the area will make it a fun night out while supporting Relay and many local cancer survivors who will walk or ride in the parade.

Eighteen teams are expected to participate with their banners. Two floats were decorated Monday night. Several cancer survivors will be riding on the "Colors of Cancer float".

Several members of the KAHS marching band will lead the parade. More than a dozen convertibles will carry Miss Relay Contestants, the Kane Prince and Princess and other dignitaries along with many area volunteer fire department vehicles as well as other surprises.

Parade participants will gather by 5:30 p.m. at Dangelo building parking Lot (formerly HAMDAM) at Poplar and Wetmore Avenue.

Earlier this week, Uptown Kane was dressed with purple bows and purple curb (the color of Relay) lines the route on the curb. A banner announcing the annual Relay event stretches across main street.

The parade marks the start of the 8th Annual Kane Area Relay Event weekend which officially begins Friday at 3 p.m. at the Kane Area High School Track. The public is urged to attend the parade and weekend events.
