*NOTICE*

Due to Covid19, the Sierra Madre Parade may be cancelled. Any new orders and guidelines regarding outdoor gatherings, events, or programming potentially being impacted or cancelled will be shared as it is received by the city’s administration, CDC and/or Los Angeles County Public Health.
As we reach the end of the school year and begin to make those summer plans with our new requirements, we know many of you have been wondering what will the 4th of July in Sierra Madre look like. We want you all to know that the Committee has been working on several variations of plans that will comply with State, County and local health orders. As these orders tend to change day to day, and are evolving with new information, we currently aren’t ready to share exactly what we are able to do, but we are hopeful that we can tell you soon how our local community will be able to celebrate together while maintaining social distancing. We are working with new partners and new ideas and we are being super creative.
As soon as we have a firm plan in place and approved by the County, we will let you all know. As always, we appreciate your patience and support of this cherished family tradition. Meanwhile, please continue to support our local businesses as well as those that have supported the Sierra Madre 4th of July traditions: Casa del Rey – Open for curbside pick-up of Mexican food in town. Leonora Moss -- Because everyone needs items that spark joy and celebration – have you seen their patriotic décor items? The Buccaneer Lounge – currently closed but opening soon – you can lend support here. Sierra Madre Animal Hospital – Cause Fido and Fluffy are always needing care.

GRAND MARSHALS 2020 ANNOUNCED
|
|
The volunteers of the Sierra Madre 4th of July Committee are pleased and excited to announce that the 2020 Fourth of July Parade Grand Marshal will be Sierra Madre’s Mike and Natasha Comer and Tom and Dawn Denison!
These two families are the driving force behind the SMThrives movement – helping local community members in need and helping support our local businesses and restaurant community. Activities for kids, ways for businesses to reach out, ways for healthy volunteers to help others in their neighborhood and the very popular Quarantine Canteen.
In fact it was Comer's sons Danny and Alex who came up with the Quarantine Canteen idea. They got volunteers like Matt and Brittany from PoppyCake and Mike Keflas from OPIT (who has beyond for the towns needy over this period), Councilwoman Rachelle Arizmendi, SMPD Volunter Lou, and CSC Staff Clarissa and Lawren Heinz. We have even seen the new Chief of Police. It's through all their efforts that Sierra Madre really does Thrive.

But SMThrives isn’t the first time these folks have stepped up in the Sierra Madre Community. Both Mike Comer, a local business owner himself and Tom Denison served on the Sierra Madre Volunteer Fire Department and the Sierra Madre Community Foundation. Denison is still a member of the Sierra Madre Planning Commission. Natasha Comer has been a long-time teacher and staff member at Sierra Madre Elementary and a PTA member. Dawn Denison has served on the Board and Volunteers with Kidspace, Sierra Madre Library and also at the Sierra Madre Elementary School PTA.
These families enlisted the help of friends and community leaders during a time of crisis to do good and help where they saw needs…showing just what a special community Sierra Madre really is!
