The Governor-Elect of Florida has invited Florida 4-H to participate in this year’s Inaugural Parade! The Inaugural Parade will honor our state’s greatest resource: Floridians. People from across the state, representing each county, will participate in this time-honored tradition beginning at the Governor’s Mansion and concluding just beyond the Old Capitol. This event will be on January 4th. We are seeking 4-H’ers from across the state (and especially Leon, Gadsden, and Jefferson counties), to be a part of Florida’s history. The following three events will be milestones in any young person’s life. To top of the amazing experience, they’ll get to decorate a float and be in a parade!
