With preparations continuing for the upcoming 325th Anniversary Parade on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m., over 40 local organizations have already signed up to be in the parade.

   Many of the organizations will be building floats over the next few weeks, some are marching with their flags and banners, and others will simply walk to be part of this historical event.

   Some of the organizations that are scheduled to be in the parade include the Rotary Club, EJS Insurance, the Post Office, Yacht Club, BMI Alumni, Environmental Commission, BRHS Football Team, the HOB Tavern, Goddard School, and various Girl Scout, Boy Scout, and Cub Packs to name a few.

   Several Halloween Parades favorites will be joining us as well, including St. Mary's School, Bordentown Township Senior Citizens, Bordentown Home for Funerals, Hamilton PAL Twirlers, Boyd's Pharmacy, and several family floats.

   More than a few organizations are keeping their float ideas a secret. Parade organizer Steve McGowan was recently speaking with Bordentown Home for Funeral owner Robert Pecht about his float ideas. Mr. Pecht was sure to not give away any plans about what he has up his sleeves. He promised that his float would surely be a surprise to all at the parade.    All organizations signed up for the parade should meet at the corners of Spring and Elizabeth Streer at 1 p.m. the day of the parade. Only floats will be permitted on Spring and Elizabeth streets after 1 p.m., no additional cars will be permitted. Organizations should plan ahead for parking, drop off, and pick up locations.

   There is still time to register your organization to be part of the parade, call Steve McGowan at 609-298-9328 or register online by visiting www.bordentown325parade.com.
