We are only 10 days away from Bovina's Bicentennial weekend celebration. Originally scheduled for August 1 and 2, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to delay the celebration until this year - specifically July 30 and 31, 2022. Here’s the schedule:
Saturday, July 30
Parade – 10 am
The parade will start at Coulter Brook Road and go through the hamlet to Creamery Road, where it will end on McIntosh’s flat (the field to the left of the creamery). The parade will include floats, antique cars and farm equipment, and the Delaware County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol, finishing with the Lake Delaware Boy’s Camp.
The floats and vehicles from the parade will be on display throughout the afternoon on the flat, as will the Bovina Fire Department’s equipment, including the department’s first fire truck. If you are interested in participating in the parade, contact me at bovinahistorian@gmail.com.
