Only 2 weeks until our community joins together for a grand July 4th celebration!
The town is already beginning to look festive with patriotic red, white and blue bunting. To further encourage community spirit, Ace Hardware is generously offering a “Bunting Chamber Special”. The 6 foot wide X 3 foot tall swag bunting is only $19.99 plus tax.  This special offer is available for town merchant storefronts, and parade participant entries. Join in and show your spirit!
There is still time to enter the parade. Applications are available at the Chamber office or may be downloaded at www.sanjuanisland.org (http://www.sanjuanisland.org). What a fun way for your group to be recognized as you celebrate down Spring Street to the cheers of your fans!
We are so fortunate to have such a creative community sharing their enthusiasm and talents to help make the SJI Chamber of Commerce July 4^th Parade a proud memory. See you on the 4^th!
