July Jubilee Parade 2014
As part of this year’s North Bend July Jubilee Celebration, a parade will be held on Saturday.  The North Bend July Jubilee Parade will be held on Saturday July 19th as part of the 2014 July Jubilee Celebration .  The parade will start promptly at 1:00 PM.  Participating units should form up between 11:30 am and 12:00 noon.  Judging will begin at noon. The parade route forms a rectangle starting at Monroe and Montana Ave., then proceed east on Montana south on Hwy. 101, west on Virginia, then north on Meade and return to the starting point.  The best views will be from within the rectangle formed by the parade route.  People wanting to park within the area of the parade should plan to be in place before 12:30 pm. There are a number of youth groups, antique and military vehicles, fire engines, animals and other entries. First place ribbons are awarded for the best entry in each category, as well as best theme “Discover North Bend.”   At this point, there is only one band.  The Hillah Shriners Oriental Band has taken first place in the parade for the past 4 years, possibly because it has no competition.  Fresh off of first place wins at the 2014 Coquille Gay 90s Parade and the White Cedar Days Parade in Powers, the Oriental Band is challenging other musical groups to enter the competition.  Registration forms are still available at the North Bend Information Center, or by contacting Tom Shine at 541-297-0086 or tpshine@yahoo.com
