Parade theme will be "Rolling on the River"

It’s time to start planning for the 2017 Bald Eagle Days Parade. This year’s theme is “Rolling on the River.” Put your thinking caps on, talk to your friends, family, and co-workers. Get creative and celebrate the mighty Columbia River. Build a float, get a group together and walk, show off your trucks, tractors, boats, motorcycles, and more. Get that special car out, get it all shined up, and slow cruise the streets of Cathlamet through the parade. Bring your pets and your horses; dress up as a clown or a dancer. Show off your imagination. It’s going to be a great year for a parade.
