Schedule - April 27, 2022

Parade – 8:15 a.m.

The parade will be happening rain or shine! Groups are encouraged to dress up/design a float (on a trailer, in the back of a truck, just walking, etc) to fit in with the theme of Survivor/Castaway. There will be trophy prizes for the best Organization and the best Office! We parade around campus, starting at the Versant Astronomy Center, on a historic route, and drop you off in time for service.
