The Florence Pioneer Day parade and activities are back on schedule for Sept. 17-18 this year after having to cancel last year’s event. Pioneer Day has been celebrated in Florence since 1928 and the Pioneer Board is pleased to continue with the tradition.
The activities kick off at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Florence Elks. The 2021 Pioneer Day Royalty will be formally introduced at that time. King and Queen are Bob and Sue Wood, Parade Marshal is Cecil Slattery and the Distinguished Citizen is Lynn Lemon-Oliver. The new king and queen will be crowned by the 2019 king and queen Rick and Joyce Archuletta.
Following the introductions, the very popular band, The Atomic Fireballs will be performing for the evening. There will be a $ 5 cover charge for the dance.
