Come see the fun at the Fourth Of July Parade

In the Spirit of Service 2010 Spirit of the Fourth Parade

With a troop of Boy Scouts leading the way, backed up by four high school bands, beauty queens, clowns, jugglers, and a swirl of dignitaries, RB’s 41st Spirit of the Fourth parade will step off smartly at 3:30 p.m. on July 4th.  Unicyclists, drum majorettes, flag twirlers, military marching bands, and kids on wheels offer fun for the entire family.

The parade will begin at Acena Drive, proceed west onto Rancho Bernardo Road, turns south onto Bernardo Center Drive, turns east onto Lomica Drive and ends at the Post Office.

Parade sponsor UBS Wealth Management will kick off the parade, featuring our Grand Marshals Bobby Cheatom, Ernest H. Collier, Esequiel Briones Leos, Gunnery Sergeant Philip Bishop, Joseph A. Petrini, Lieutenant Will Whiteman, U.S. Navy, Major Dudley Elmore, Master Sergeant Torain S. Kelley, Orlow F. Garrett, Robert Holloway, Solomon K. Espinda, Ulysses Miller, Jr., who are representing the Wounded Warriors from the following conflicts:  World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Congressmen Duncan Hunter, Brian Bilbray, and Darryl Issa will be among the elected officials riding in the parade, along with State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher.

County Supervisor Chairwoman Pam Slater-Price, City Councilmember Carl DeMaio, and City Attorney Jan Goldsmith will lead the local contingent of officials in the parade.
