It's time to celebrate the founding of our country in the best possible way- with kids, on bikes...and strollers...and wagons...and scooters! Mark your calendars for our annual Push 'Em Pull 'Em Parade, when kids off all ages decorate their non-electric conveyances, and ride in patriotic style in Ashland! Registration opens at 9 a.m. in front of Substance Church (101 South Street), and the parade will begin at 10.
If you want to participate, the guidelines are as follows:
Children 6 and under must be accompanied by an adult;
Helmets and safety gear are recommended for children riding bicycles, skateboards, and scooters;
NO motorized (electric or gas-powered) vehicles are allowed (including, but not limited to, mopeds, motorized skateboards, and motorcycles);
Participants are encouraged (but not required) to wear patriotic costumes and decorate their entries with a patriotic theme.
Every participant will get a 2022 commemorative button.
Awards will be given in the following categories:
Most Patriotic Attire (Child)
Best Decorated Bike, Scooter, Tricycle, or Wagon (5 & under)
Best Decorated Bike, Scooter, Tricycle, or Wagon (6 & older)
Most Patriotic Attire (Adult)
If you live on our parade route, please come out and cheer on our kiddos! We go from South St., to Center St., to Walnut St, to Luther St., back to South St.
