Trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place entries in this year’s parade. New this year is a “traveling award” that will be presented to the “most green” entry. Awards and this year’s logo have been created by local artist David Grace and apprentice Andrews Hicks of Earthworks Design Studio in Hamilton. The logo features 10 flags representing 2010 and focuses on a family excited about the day’s festivities at dawn of the 4th of July.
