Below: On June 20, Gov Vaughn, Parade Chairman for Monument Hill Sertoma, requested the Monument Board of Trustees pass a resolution authorizing the temporary closing of the July 4th parade route from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon.

Seated at the front table, left to right, are Trustees Tommie Plank, Scott Meszaros, Gail Drumm, Dave Mertz, George Brown, Frank Orten, Mayor Byron Glenn, Town Attorney Gary Shupp, Town Manager Cathy Green, Deputy Town Clerk Irene Walters.

In order to make the parade even safer, Vaughn said that throwing candy from parade vehicles and the use of high-volume "supersoakers" and water cannons would be vigorously discouraged to assure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time at "the biggest parade of any small town in Colorado."
