This year’s theme for the Roaring Ranger Day Parade, organized by the Ranger Historical Preservation Society (RHPS), is “Boomtown Heritage.” The RHPS Roaring Ranger Day Parade will be held on Saturday morning at 10:00 am on September 21, 2024. Help us kick off Roaring Ranger Days with a community parade reminiscent of the 1940s – crowds of people! Save the date and be there to show your community support. If you want to be in the parade, we want you! Businesses, church groups, teams, community and school organizations, Scouts – all are welcome and needed. Entry is free and forms are available on our Facebook page or by request.
After the parade, drive over to Loop 254 for two days of vendors, events, and food. RHPS will have a booth at the event RR Days. Come by our booth for Ranger history books, mugs, ornaments, t-shirts, and more. We will also have forms for our Thurber Brick Fundraiser. RHPS is continuing our memorial wall with engraved Thurber bricks. Commemorate your class, friend, or family member with an engraved brick. All sales and proceeds from our fundraiser go to the upkeep of the RHPS historic buildings and preservation projects.
Many of our parade photos that are part of the RHPS Photo Collection. Volunteers have been working for several months categorizing and preserving each photo in approved sleeves, with plans to apply for a digitization grant next summer.
