The Juneau-based Territorial Sportsmen will be entering a float in the Juneau and Douglas Fourth of July Parades this year to emphasize community programs highlighted by the sportsmen/conservation organization. Particular emphasis will be focused on this year’s 70th Golden North Salmon Derby and the $1.7 million in scholarships awarded since its inception.
The Territorial Sportsmen is asking past scholarship recipients to consider walking in the parade with the organization to illustrate the importance and value of the scholarship program to the community.
Other supporters are also free to walk with the Territorial Sportsmen float and help distribute candy along the parade route.
Those interested should contact Ron Somerville at 321-1236 or Brita Rice at 321-9963.
