Juneteenth Celebration Events: Volunteers Needed

The GCDP will be participating in Longview's Juneteenth festivities. We need volunteers to walk in the parade and some help in manning a booth we are sharing with battleground Texas.

The celebrations take place, Saturday June 21st, starting at 10:00am. The parade will last an hour, and the shifts at the table will be 2 hours.   

We will be able to register people and (hopefully) we will have a practice voting machine so those who are not familiar with it can practice. 

Please confirm how you can help 

by emailing Jim Cogar, JLCOGAR3@aol.com

or by phone at 903 295-4040. 

Let's make this a real turnout and show the county we are here and vibrant.

The parade will begin at Ryder Drive and proceed north on MLK to Broughton Park. Line up time is 9:00 am. Each parade entrant will be given a lineup number at the time of registration. Registration is $5.00 and can be picked up from Broughton Recreation Center. To call ahead dial 903-237-1276.

The parade will be immediately followed by the Community Wide Picnic in the Park. It will be hot, but we all will be cool! Just another Community Collaboration. Get ready for those Turkey Legs, Burgers, Fried Catfish, and Snow Cones.
