Hacienda Heights Parade

Ja, Kt, Diamond Bar High School, D35E

On July 4th, a parade was held in Hacienda Heights to celebrate Independence Day. Both Key Club divisions were able to collaborate with the Hacienda Heights Kiwanis to make this parade possible. In preparation of the parade, members helped decorate cars that were showcased afterwards. Most of them were classic cars that are rare to come across today. Some even got the chance to walk alongside other organizations during the parade itself, which was a new experience for many. These groups ranged from church communities to scout troops. As members of the audience, my fellow publicist/tech editor, Katelyn Thai, and I were able to gain a better insight on the different organizations. She said, “It was amazing to see the preparations being made for this parade alongside getting to participate in it. We were able to use our creative freedom to add 4th of July decorations onto someone's car, which was the very first to be shown! It was very enjoyable and I would definitely go again.” Also, we had the honor of discovering the heroic deeds that the fire department and many others had performed. Not only that, but we watched mesmerizing performances that were carried out by them. We really appreciate the amount of time and effort that went into this parade, and we continue to look forward to them in the near future.
