In fact, everyone is not only welcome, but you’re all welcome to participate, too. Bring your bikes, golf carts, wagons, strollers and vehicles decked out for Independence Day.
The event starts at 1 p.m. sharp on Sunday, but if you’d like to participate, gather at Mike and Karen Norton’s house, 18805 Bay Street, at 12:30 p.m. They’re across the street from Haserot Beach.
The route is north on Bay Street, west on Woodland Road, and south on Traverse Street, ending at the American Legion Hall, where Tom Petzold, U.S. Air Force Major, Retired, will say the Pledge of Allegiance.
No registration is required, and if you’d rather sit on the sidelines, just bring a lawn chair and watch the festivities. See you there!

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
