Do you have an interest in a country that you have lived in, visited or that you find fascinating? Sign up to carry the country’s flag during Celebration of Nations Saturday, Sept. 28. The Parade of Nations will begin at 11 a.m. in downtown Rolla.
Here’s how to sign up:
Organizers are trying to get more than 70 countries represented. Each country needs at least two volunteers for the parade: one to carry the sign and one to carry the flag. Additional walkers are welcome. Invite friends and family members who would also like to represent a country in the parade. Many participants choose to wear traditional clothing from their home countries.
If someone has already signed up to carry the flag and sign for the country you’d like, please feel free to represent that country by walking in the parade.
