This year's annual 4th of July parade has been combined with the annual Miller Country Fair parade. The holiday will kick off a week's worth of fun for everyone in the area. Good & Perfect Gifts has the home decor, tasty foods, and fantastic fashions that you need to celebrate, and this blog has a list of places you can go to have an eventful holiday.
The Parade & Fireworks
This year's parade will take place on Monday, July 4, and the theme is "Show us your Red, White, and Blue...The Miller County Fair is for you!" The parade will start at 10:00 am, beginning at the Eldon Career Center and continuing downtown, finishing up back where it began.The floats will be decked out in their best red, white, & blue, and everyone attending the parade is encouraged to do the same. In addition to the community floats, be prepared to see vintage cars, horse-drawn wagons, and much more. Don't forget to bring a bag to hold all of that candy being thrown too!
Be sure to make your way back to town at dusk. The City of Eldon will be putting on a spectacular fireworks display once the sun goes down.
