RED BLUFF – It was a fine day all the way around for the 70th Annual Red Bluff Roundup Parade – the sun shone on the more than 100 entries, 1,000 participants, 54 volunteers, and nearly 10,000 spectators.
“We had a fantastic parade. Families were cheering them on, great energy on all of the floats and participants. It was a great display here in Red Bluff and Tehama County have some of the quality of life features we have,” Dave Gowan, CEO of the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce said.
The “Timber Tales & Rodeo Trails” themed event had more parade entries than in past years. The parade took place Saturday, April 20, at 10 a.m. and was led by the 2024 Marshal A.A. “Red” Emmerson, President and Chairman Emeritus of Sierra Pacific Industries.
Gowan extended gracious thanks to the volunteers, Tehama County Search and Rescue, law enforcement, judges, staging leaders, announcers, sound crew, chamber staff, and Parade Director Nathaniel Porter.
