Ramona Parade was Awesome

It was a great day in the Valley of the Sun — the return of Ramona Parade after seven years.

Floats, tractors, classic cars, equines, musicians, farm animals and people representing all kinds of community groups traveled up Main Street, from 13th to 5th Street.

County Supervisor Dianne Jacob was the Grand Marshal of the parade, riding in a Veterans of Foreign Wars truck with retired congressman Duncan Lee Hunter. Other parade entrants included Ramona Sentinel, Ramona Home Journal, the Sheriff's Department, Ramona Fire Department, the U.S. Forest Service, Intermountain Fire & Rescue, several schools and Ramona's school district, Da Tuna Shack restaurant, Ramona Trails Association, the Civilian Air Patrol, Ramona Airport, Classic Rotors Museum, Advocates for Christ motorcycle club, the National Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) and Ramona Forum.

Woody Kirkman and others announced the floats as they passed by all the onlookers. Kirkman was stationed outside Ramona Town Hall.
