The
Warren County Prime Beef Festival will again
feature an opening parade down Broadway on
Wednesday, September5, 2007 in Monmouth
Illinois. This annual event features well
over an hour of free entertainment provided by a
variety of floats, bands, clowns, dancers,
automobiles and horses of all sorts.
The parade will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m.
The lineup for the
parade will be at the West
Park located on West Broadway. We ask that all
bands please unload on West Broadway in front of
West Park. We also ask you to be there no later
than 4:00 p.m so not to interfere with the
starting of the Prime Beef Run event at that time. |
All
entries in the parade are asked to place their
assigned Parade Entry Number on the right side of
their entry. This is for the benefit of the judges. If
you don't see your entry listed please call the Monmouth
Area Chamber of Commerce at (309) 734-3181 for
instructions
Of course, we feel strongly that the marching bands and
their music is the key to our success. There will
be a $100 participation award for each band coming,
which can be used in any fashion with their music
program. Judging will be based on school size and there
will be 1st, 2nd, 3rd & "Best of Show"
trophy's awarded.
Come early
and make a day of it by shopping the downtown
"Maple City" merchants around the Monmouth
Square, then tour some of our historical
attractions wait for the Parade to begin. After
the parade come out to our Festival grounds to enjoy our
four days of fun. Contact the
Monmouth Area Chamber of Commerce, (309) 734-3181, for
the full list of "other" things to do while
you are here. You will be surprised just how much
entertainment we can "feed" you!

Festival Stage at Monmouth Park located just off Route
34 and North 11th Street across the street from the
Monmouth Airport. Presentations will be held on the
Festival Stage around 6:30 - 7:00 p.m.
