Update for those marching with us:
We will have snacks and a little bit of red, white, and blue stuff to attach to your wagons/strollers/bikes/whatever or decorate them at home. Tiara and Cayla will be there at 9am but as long as you are there before the parade starts at 10am, you'll be able to march with us! We will set up on Sweetser Ave near the lumberyard. We're entry #47 right after the Boy Scouts (looks like we will be near the middle of the parade). The weather is supposed to be lovely and it should be a really fun time. Join the NMC Member-Only Facebook group or reply to this email to get Tiara and Cayla's phone numbers to make it easier to find us.

It's time to join together and march in the Novato 4th of July Parade with the Novato Mothers Club! The theme this year is NATION OF INNOVATION. Join us as we celebrate science and technology with the rest of our community! It's also the NMC's 30th birthday so let's go big this year!
Help the NMC win the award for the best community group matching the theme!
If you or your kids have any scientist, doctor, astronaut, robot, or other innovation-esque costumes/accessories, we hope you'll wear them (along with any NMC t-shirts or other gear you might have)! We also encourage all the kids to make and bring a cardboard or other found-item robot to "march" along beside us on parade day.
The parade starts at 10am and lasts approximately 1 hour. We will meet to decorate strollers, bikes, wagons, etc. from 9-9:30am on Sweetser Ave (look for our flag). All participants should plan to arrive by 9:30am to walk or ride down Grant Ave with us holding signs with various messages.
The parade ends at Grant and 7th Street where we will gather for snacks.
There is a Buckaroo Breakfast from 7-10am at the Redwood Credit Union parking lot and pre-parade entertainment on Grant Ave. starting at 9am. Find more info at novatoparade.com.
