Masons Marching
in the
Iowa State Fair Parade
Wednesday Aug. 7th, 2013, about 6 PM
The Des Moines Scottish Rite and the Des Moines York Rite invite all Masons to participate in the Iowa State Fair Parade on Aug 7th, 2013.
Volunteers are needed to march in the Iowa State Fair Parade. We hope to have 50 to 100 Masons marching in the parade.
The purpose of participating in this parade is to promote the Masonic lodges throughout Iowa.
If you wish to volunteer to march in the parade, you will need to be able to walk for about three miles. If you wish to participate, please go to dmyorkrite.org and sign up. We plan on providing water for the Masons attending. This will allow us to know how much water to bring.
Around Aug 1st, we will send an email to everyone who has signed up. We will provide details on where to meet and when. The parade will start about 6:00 PM. We will need to assemble a little earlier.
For Masons who do not get signed up, we will have details posted on dmyorkrite.org so that anyone can show up to participate.
