Just a few reminders and FYIs about this weekend’s celebration:
 
– The Elk County Catholic High School/St. Marys Catholic Middle School parking lots will be utilized as the staging area for the 130+ units participating in the 175th Anniversary Parade on Saturday, September 16. Please note there will be no onsite parking available in the main parking lot or in any of the lots around the perimeter of ECCHS/SMCMS building on Saturday morning. There will be access to the lot for those dropping off participants, but participants bringing vehicles must park off-site. The lots will re-open at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon after the final unit exits the parking lot.
 
– The schools’ foyer, cafeteria, and restrooms will be open and available to parade participants.
 
– The parade will begin at 11 a.m. and is expected to conclude at 1 p.m. on Depot Street.
 
– The ECC Athletic Association will host a concession stand in the hours prior to the start of the parade for those participating. Coffee, drinks, donuts, hoagies, and candy will be for sale.
 
Happy 175th Birthday, St. Marys! We’ll see you on the parade route tomorrow!
