They called for a parade encore.

If you enjoyed the May parade at Vancrest Ada celebrating National Nursing Home Week, wait until July 8.  

A Red, White and Drive Through – oh, who thinks of up these clever titles? – is set for Wednesday, July 8, similar to the May parade. 

The community is invited to participate with cars, trucks, tractors, golf carts, practically anything that has wheels.  Parade line up is at 4 p.m. in the parking lot in front of Ada schools. The parade starts at 4:30 p.m.

Participants are encouraged to create signs, decorate vehicles in red, white and blue, and be prepared to honk and wave as residents will watch from  front-row seats.

May’s parade lasted 20-plus minutes and the Icon lost count after the 100th vehicle passed the parade review stand. The event turned out to be as fun for the participants as for the residents as it was the first doors-open event an Vancrest since March.

Vancrest officials ask that participants remain in their cars during the parade. A rain date of Thursday, July 9, is planned on the same time schedule.
