    Join Us for the 2022 Bourbonnais Friendship Festival Parade!

    Represent Riverside at the 2022 Bourbonnais Friendship Festival Parade!

    Date: Sunday, June 26

    Time: Line-up time coming soon

    The first 50 employees to sign up for the parade get a limited edition Riverside t-shirt to wear at the parade!

    This year we will not have a float, but we invite you to decorate a wagon or stroller to this year’s parade theme “Unplug, Connect Game on 2022” – a family board game theme.

    If you decorate your wagon or stroller for the parade, you will receive a Riverside bucket hat.

    Shirts are for Riverside Employees Only. You may pick up your shirt in the Pavilion Lobby on Thursday, June 23, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

    If you cannot pick up your shirt during this time, please contact Gabby Cinnamon at ext. 46503 or gcinnamon@rhc.net to schedule a time to pick up your shirt in the marketing office.

    Shirts will NOT be interoffice mailed.

    If you cannot pick up your shirt before the parade, we will bring all extra shirts to the parade so no need to worry!

    Shirts are unisex sizing.

    *IMPORTANT: The sign-up form will not work in Internet Explorer. Please use Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox when filling out the form.
