Neighborhood floats, performing
groups and North Mason children ped-
dling decorated trikes will be among
the participants in the annual Tauhya
Day parade beginning at 10 a.m. Sat-
urday on North Shore Road.
A SWAT team and a Seahawk nest
float are among the entrants to this
year's event, said Liz Corliss Clark,
president of the Tahuya Community
Club.
"It's the most eclectic parade you've
ever seen," she said.
Vendors will sell items that include
food, baskets, jewelry and handcrafted
items.
A honey maker will bring a bee ex-
hibit, Clark said. Representatives from
nonprofit groups also will offer infor-
mation at booths.
Items will be raffled at the event to
raise money for scholarships for North
Mason High School graduates. To
date, the Tahuya Community Club has ....
awarded more than $49,000 in scholar- ....
ships, Clark said.
