Hello Keizer….

The biggest community news is that the parade, usually held KeizerFEST week in August, has been rescheduled for May 18 this year. Today’s print edition has an 8-page section inside relating all the information for the parade.

The organziers of KeizerFEST and its parade, decided to hold the parade, now dubbed the BLOOMIN’ IRIS DAYS PARADE, so more high school marching bands can participate. There was a lack of communication (or awareness): all the other high school bands are in competition May 18. Oops.
