White Bird Idaho’s annual town celebration, parade & rodeo is just around the corner – Father’s Day Weekend, Friday, June 19th and Saturday, June 20th. There will be plenty of fun in store for all ages – including our fun Parade Saturday at 11am. With the Salmon River as your backdrop, enjoy the White Bird Rodeo both Friday and Saturday evenings.
Look forward to the parade on Saturday morning, vendors, a pie social, the horse pucky contest, kids’ games, arts and crafts, and karaoke. Also, Cody and Rene Farmer will be selling concession items to help raise money for next year’s Easter Egg Hunt.
The White Bird Chamber is proud to partner with community organizations during this event. New this year is “Grab-Bag” Bingo with the Rebekahs. The Idaho Potato Bar manned by the Pleasant View Baptist is also new. The pie booth staffed by volunteers from the White Bird Community Library is not new…but still, what a treat. All those yummy homemade pies!!! (Proceeds from this pie sale will certainly help the Library with their Raise the Roof campaign.)
