Grand Parade is Sunday
     Organizers expect a large number of entries for this year’s Omak Stampede grand parade Aug. 10, said parade director Connie Thomas.
     This year’s parade will include a large number of horses as always, but also will include something for just about everyone, she said.
     The parade starts near Ferrel Gas on Okoma Drive at 10 a.m. The parade makes its way north up Okoma Drive, then east on Fourth Avenue and onto Main Street. The parade turns west on Apple and travels south on Ash before widing its way along a few residential streets to finish on Sixth.
     A luncheon for parade participants will be held at the Omak Elks Lodge following the parade, Thomas said.
     More information is available from the Omak Stampede office, 826-1983.
