Chase County Fair parade entries starting to flow in

With the Chase County Fair only three weeks away, parade organizer and Chamber of Commerce member Chris Lee said registration forms are available, and entries are beginning to be submitted.
The Saturday morning parade will begin on Aug. 17 at 10:30 a.m. in Imperial. Starting point is in front of the Imperial Manor, then it will travel east on 10th Street, then south on Broadway to Third Street, where it will disband.
Pre-registration is required if groups would like to be judged, Lee said.
Forms are available at The Imperial Republican office, the FV Coop office and other locations in town, as well as in this newspaper on page 4.
Forms should be taken or mailed to the coop office in Imperial.
Entries are to line up at 8:30 a.m., and judging will start at 9 a.m.
This year’s theme is “Chase County Fair—Would you go with me?” That line is the title of a song by Josh Turner, who will be the headliner for the fair grandstand later that night.
Parade entry categories include organizations, open class, religious, business/professional and equestrian.
Grand marshal for this year’s parade is Marvin Large.
