Quartzsite's Hi Jolly Daze and ATV Parade Jan. 5th entry form


Hi Jolly Daze AND ATV Parade planned for Sat. Jan. 5, 2013

The 25th Annual Hi Jolly Daze and ATV Parade will be held on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 10am. The Town of Quartzsite is proud to be honoring Quartzsite’s first ever Eagle Scout, Jeremy Kimberlin, who will serve as this year’s Grand Marshall. 

The theme for this year is “Mining in Quartzsite!” Enter your float, walk, dance, play your music, ride your bike, drive your car, ATV, RV, or walk the dog, but bring the whole family and your friends for a fun time.
The parade will start at 10am. The parade starts at the Fire Station on E. Tyson, heads east, then south on Plymouth ending up at Town Park where there will be lots of food, music and fun for the whole family. Line up begins at 8:30 am at the Fire Station. Please have all group members together at the check-in.

 The Hi Jolly Daze Parade and activities afterwards at Town Park brings the residents, businesses, organizations and our Winter Visitors together to celebrate our winter season and pay tribute to Hi Jolly, the man who made our area his home for fifty years.

Parade Entry Forms may be picked up at: Quartzsite Business Chamber of Commerce, Town Hall and the Readers Oasis Book Store. There are No Entry FEES! Drop off the Entry forms at Town Hall, 465 N. Plymouth Ave., Quartzsite, Arizona. Please return completed entries to Town Hall no later than  Wednesday, January 2, 2013.
