July 4th Festivities In Montrose

The Kiwanis-Lions-Rotary (KLR) service clubs of Montrose are pleased to announce that they have chosen the theme “The Great Outdoors 4th” for this year’s Independence Day Celebration to be held in Montrose on Monday, July 4.

The Kiwanis-Lions-Rotary has chosen this years’ theme, “The Great Outdoors 4th,” in recognition of the many wonderful outdoor venues that our area offers to all ages. We live in the heart of the Endless Mountains and we are blessed with the spectacular offerings of Mother Nature and our own handiwork.

During the winter the outdoors offers downhill and cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and Snowmobiling along many trails that exist in the county. Hunting in the fall and winter provides a real challenge for the sportsmen and their families.

The spring and summer months are full of a variety of outdoor activities. Sporting events such as golf, soccer, track, cross country running and stock car racing are to name a few. Fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming in the many lakes, streams and rivers provide a great outlet to relax from the stress of everyday living. Hiking in the Nature Preserves, Salt Springs State Park, and camping are great things for the entire family to share and enjoy.

Other areas to consider are all the special festivals our area holds such as the Harford Fair, Independence Day Celebration, Library Blueberry Festival and the Apple Festival.

The KLR is proud to announce that they have selected the Elk Lake Boys and Elk Lake Girls Cross Country Team as the Grand Marshall for this year. Both teams won the Pennsylvania State Championships this year under the guidance of Coach Will Squier.

The July 4 festivities in Montrose provide a number of daylong activities to celebrate our Nation’s Freedom and Independence. The day starts with a pancake breakfast served at the Montrose United Methodist Church from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m.

The Endless Mountains Independence Day races will begin with runners registering from 6:30-7:30 a.m. at the courthouse. A one-mile Fun Run (no registration required) will start at 7:45 a.m., followed by the 5K starting at 8:00 a.m. and the 10K race starting at 8:10 a.m.

The first 300 5K and 10K registrants will get commemorative shirts. In addition, awards will be presented to many age groups for both men and women. Again this year, timing and results will be handled by the Triple Cities Runners Club. Racers may pre-register on-line and check race results at allsportcentral.com, according to Fred Malloy, race director.

Over 130 top quality arts and craft exhibitors will be set up on the Village Green starting at 8:00 a.m. In addition, many food and soda booths will provide a vast variety of goodies to satisfy any palate. A chicken bar-b-que dinner will also be available, starting at 10:00 a.m.

The highlight of the day will be the Patriotic Parade, which steps off at 11:00 a.m. As in years past, the theme will be used as a guide to decorate the floats that will participate in the Parade. The floats that best depict this year’s theme, “The Great Outdoors 4th,” will be awarded cash prizes as follows: 1st, $200; 2nd, $150; 3rd, $100; 4th, $50; 5th, $50; and 6th, $50. In addition, the Kiwanis Club of Montrose will present the Ted Brzuska Memorial Award for the float that best depicts “the great outdoors for the benefit of our children.” The prize is $100.

Floats will be judged during the parade for how they best present the basic theme for this year. Float designs should focus on all those things in our area that depict our outdoor offerings in and around our community.

A vast array of floats, bands, marching units and antique and classic vehicles will be in the parade which will travel from the east end of Grow Avenue near Lake Montrose to Church Street and up Public Avenue to the village green.

Public safety officials said temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted on streets designated for emergency vehicle access. There will be many off-street parking lots identified for guest parking, as well as lawn and driveway spaces provided by Montrose residents.

Additional information can be obtained by contacting the following telephone numbers: General Info - 278-3537 or 553-2760; Arts & Crafts - 278-2566; Races - 607-727-7167; Parade - 278-3861.
