and Stumbling Brass Band. The parade will feature the
Parade Queen, the lovely 95 year old Ruth Rathbun, who
was there the day the building was first moved. Also featured
will be the Parade Princess, Joyful Raven, who happened to
be attending her own birth elsewhere in Petrolia that day.
Events and activities scheduled for after the march include
a comedy show starring local kids, a sing along with the
Mattole Valley Singers and storytelling about the founding
days. Food, including barbequed beef, lamb and goat, will be
served after the parade. Beer, wine and soft drinks will be
on sale as well as desserts.
