Stampede parades to honor educators

MONTE VISTA— This year marks the 98th  year of the San Luis Valley Ski Hi Stampede. This summer parade goers, as well as participants are in for a treat. The theme chosen for the 2019 stampede parades will be “Super Heroes Teach.”
Schools, churches, individuals and businesses have an opportunity to recognize and thank an educator, a teacher, a coach, a mentor or anyone who has made a difference in their lives. The parade committee is excited to see creative entries, from the community, honoring educators from throughout the Valley.  Dress as a favorite superhero and take part in this long-standing tradition.
The parades will take place in downtown Monte Vista on Friday, July 26 and Saturday, July 27, beginning at 10 a.m.  Entry forms are available online at www.skihistampede.com or at the Colorado Potato Administration Office.
Plan now to join the fun as we celebrate summer with two great days of parades during the Ski Hi Stampede.
