Dear CDA Community,

It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce the theme for this year’s 4th of July parade in downtown Coeur d’Alene, Vintage America: The Magic of our Youth! We are excited to bring back the wonder and joy of our childhood through parade entries that transport us to a world of magic, imagination, and memories of years gone by. We cannot wait to witness your creative talents in action. Our annual Independence Day celebration always provides a fun and inspiring opportunity to come together as a community with gratitude, hope, and unity, in honor of our heroes who have served and are currently serving our country. We are grateful for the freedom that living in the United States of America has given us and look forward to celebrating with you!
Sincerely,

Linda Coppess, CEO/President of the CDA Regional Chamber
