The 2026 Sue Lanich Memorial Award was presented in memory of long-time committee member, Delvia Kumm. Delvia faithfully served on the parade committee for several years until retiring in 2024. She was a devoted supporter of our local fire service, proudly speaking of the volunteer firefighters who give so much of themselves to protect our communities. Her admiration and respect for those who serve was evident to everyone who knew her. Delvia passed away in January of this year, but her legacy of service, community pride, and unwavering support for our first responders lives on.
🌟 Sue Lanich Memorial Award: Falls Creek Volunteer Fire Department - a department that embodies the spirit of volunteerism and dedication that Delvia so deeply admired.

📌 Lineup is determined by a divisional rotation each year. This has been done for many years before us. This means if you were in the 2nd division last year, you’re in the 1st division this year. 1st division last year, is 2nd division this year.
📌 There are a lot of entries with recorded music. We did our best to separate those entries.
📌 There is, and has been for many years, a 2 firetruck limit for each fire company in the 2 divisions.
📌 We know no one likes being at the end of the parade - but someone has to be there.
📌 If you did not submit an entry form, you may show up the day of the parade. You will be placed at the end of the pre-determined line up.
📌 The CCFP is a family friendly event.
📌 Line Up takes place in downtown Clearfield beginning at 4pm. The parade will promptly start at 6pm.

See you at the parade! 🎡

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Past Parade Committee Member Delvia Kumm.

Delvia was a true pillar of our parade for many years, serving as the mastermind behind the First Division during the Sue Lanich parade days to present. Her dedication, organization, and tireless behind-the-scenes work helped shape the parade into what so many of us came to love and expect year after year.

Delvia officially retired from the parade committee following the 2024 parade, but in true Delvia fashion, she still offered her time, guidance, and support as we prepared for the 2025 parade. Her commitment never wavered.

Beyond her service, we are incredibly grateful for Delvia’s humor, wit, and unmistakable personality. She had a way of lightening stressful moments, making people laugh, and reminding everyone why the work mattered. Her presence was felt just as much through her personality as it was through her leadership.

Delvia also proudly served as a member of the Clearfield Fire Department, continuing a lifetime of service to her community.

We are deeply grateful for everything Delvia gave—her time, her leadership, her laughter, and her heart. She will be greatly missed, but her impact and legacy will forever remain part of our parade and our community.

Below, Delvia is pictured with her Son Christopher and Husband Robert.

Please keep Delvia’s family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time. 💔

Now that the confetti has stopped flying... 🎉

Well, well, well… Mother Nature tried to steal the show with a little pre-parade sprinkle, but CLEARFIELD wasn’t having it! After a quick little rain shower, the clouds parted, the sun came out, and we were left with the most beautiful night for a parade you could imagine! Seriously, it was like the weather knew this parade was too good to miss!

Then came the 130 INCREDIBLE participants who took over that 1-mile route with pure magic. From fire trucks, ambulances, and marching bands to local businesses, twirling units, and dance/cheer groups, it was a parade extravaganza! The energy was so electric, I think we all could’ve powered the entire fairgrounds for the rest of the week!

And let’s talk about the thousands of SPECTATORS who lined that route to cheer us on—YOU brought the real spark! The streets were packed with excitement, laughter, and more positive energy than we could have ever hoped for! The vibe was contagious and pure magic.

A special shoutout to everyone who trusted us with the weather – we watched that forecast for 24 hours like it was the most important thing on Earth. When those raindrops left and the skies opened up? It was worth every second of the wait. You were all AMAZING for trusting and sticking with us!

We can’t forget our amazing sponsor, CNB Bank, and the talented folks at Evolution Images Photography who made sure every moment was captured in all its glory. Thank you for helping make parade night unforgettable!

So now, we're already thinking about next year. Until then, Clearfield —keep those spirits high!
