St. Mary CAA’s Head Start parade will roll Jan. 23

St. Mary/Vermilion Community Action’s Krewe of Head Start Parade is set to roll down the streets of Franklin Jan. 23 at 1 p.m.
The parade began in 1993 as the Head Start Program’s major recruitment tool for pre-school children aged three to five. It is also a promotional venue for all the services currently offered by the agency.
This year’s theme is “Head Start Changing with the Times.” Lineup begins at 11 a.m. at the Franklin Senior High School parking lot. The parade route is approximately two miles and leaves from behind the school, turns onto Main Street and proceeds to downtown Franklin, then turns onto Willow Street and turns right onto Third Street where it disbands.
The deadline for all entries is Friday, Jan. 15 at 3 p.m. An entry form may be obtained at the St. Mary CAA Central Office, located at 1407 Barrow St. in Franklin. This form must be completed along with a copy of your insurance. For more information, contact David Teno or Jeffery Beverly at 337-828-5703.
