Dear Mayor and Council:
The Business Improvement Association would appreciate City Council
recognition and support of the 4th of July Independence Day Parade, an
"Old-Fashioned Celebration to honor the Guardians of our Independence. "
The parade begins at 11 a.m. at the corner of Chorro and Palm, and
ends on Nipomo street, traversing the route used for the Christmas
parade.
The theme is: "SLO salutes the guardians of our Independence," and
recognizes the men and women who served their country. It is also a

The BIA requests City support for this program in the form of City
services such as; Police, Fire and Public Works (barricades,

which help provide a safe and well organized event and gives the public
confidence that we of San Luis Obispo strive for quality.
Please join with us in celebrating Independence Day 1991.
