LA JARA – The 2024 La Jara Glory Days celebration will take place on Saturday, July 27.
Most years, the town strives to add a few more attractions to bring the community together to celebrate life in the little town.
This year, the town received a substantial donation from a generous benefactor, who has requested that they use the funds specifically to enhance and improve the parade.
To that end, the town would like to invite all business friends, community organizations, clubs, and anyone one else who may be interested, to ignite their float building creativity. They will three categories:
The top three winners in each category will receive cash prizes (first place will receive $1,000, second place will receive $500, and third place will receive $250). Winners will be selected by a panel of judges.
The annual Art Lopez Memorial Car show (Cars for a Cause) will also take place during the Glory Days event, and the town would encourage all entries in the car show to also participate in the parade and be eligible to win some of the prize money.
For more information, contact Town Manager Larry Zaragoza at 719-274-0553 or 719-992-4073.
“We hope to increase participation in the parade this year and in the future, however, there is no guarantee that our benefactor will be available in future years to offer the same financial support; therefore, we encourage everyone to take advantage of what we can offer in 2024,” town officials stated.
