Having fun at the Geneva 4th of July Parade
I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend vist with my friend Joan, who introduced me to the delights of small town Americana, Florida style, at the annual Geneva 4th of July Parade. This was as mom and apple pie as could be, including a parade where local children rode their bicycles and ranchers rode their horses – and virtually everyone in town who wasn’t on the side of the road was in the parade. Children sold lemonade, parade participants tossed candy to the crowd, antique planes did a flyover, and it was capped off with a community celebration at the town park, where you could join in a cake walk (which Joan did), bob for apples, take a pony ride on a trail through the woods, or just relax with a hot dog and listen to the local band play patriotic tunes. What a heartwarming experience !
From Elizabeth Livingston:
Would like to know if you are having vendors out at the parade on July 3rd in Oviedo, and would like to know who the contact person and number for this event is, please.
Thank you very much,
Elizabeth
From Sandra Friend:
Hi, Elizabeth. I’m a travel writer and not affiliated with the parade. It’s in Geneva, not Oviedo. They’ve had vendors in the past, so you may want to check with the town of Geneva. They don’t seem to have a website, so you may want to stop down there or look in the Blue Pages for Seminole County for a contact number.
