2013 Redmond 4th of July Parade

by Larry Johnson
Keep those Porsche’s spic and span after the June “Show & Shine” so they are ready for our second annual Redmond (Flag City USA) 4th of July parade. We had a great turn out last year blowing off the competition but the Corvette Club may be back this year so don’t let us down.
We will rally after the parade at the same parking lot East of Ray’s. Then we will be off on an “Arrive and Drive and Eat” to a new location. Look for details to follow but please mark your calendars now and start planning your red, white and blue decorations.
