Come on down on May 12th to Durham and enjoy an old fashioned country parade and picnic. The theme of this year’s festivities is “Nuts” About Farming. Begin your day with a pancake breakfast served at the Durham Memorial Hall sponsored by the Durham Grange.

 

In its 95th year, the Parade begins at 10am and winds through the historic downtown area. Both the parade marshal Bruce Campbell, and the honored woman of the year Gloria Rose will lead the parade. Our Juniors of the year for 2012  Meghan Kelly and Victoria Dennis will be honored as well. The parade will be a display of homemade floats, all three Durham school bands, horses and their riders, children displaying their many diverse talents, vintage cars, a display of army vehicles, biker riders and ending with a our wonderful Durham Volunteer Fire Department. If you would like to enter the parade come to the high school parking lot between 8 and 9:45 am to sign up, get a number and be judged.

The picnic begins out at the park after the parade is finished at approximately 12:00. The picnic provides many food booths: from hamburgers and french fries to the strawberry shortcake. There will be opportunities to buy tickets for the cash raffle, bid on a Silent Auction, participate in foot races for all ages. Families can look over the display of old timer’s farm equipment, play in a baseball game, visit the petting zoo, sing your favorite karaoke song, win a goodie at the Cake Walk, kids can enjoy the jump house, play the game booths and hang out in the playground. Anyone can enter into the horseshoe tournament, or check out a display of Durham’s history from the beginnings of its land colony to present day. End your day with a refreshing swim at the Durham Pool; it will be free to the public from 5 to 8 pm. So come on down and enjoy another era in time at Durham’s 95 th Parade and Picnic. You will be sure to be enchanted and entertained by the ambiance of Durham.
