Tricentennial Heritage Day Parade and Knox Trail cannon
The committee discussed expanding the annual Heritage Day Parade in October 2027 into a supersized tricentennial parade. Plans include contracted marching units, community floats, a team of oxen, and a historic replica Knox Trail cannon on a sled that would fire ten blank shots at the conclusion.
- Parade is scheduled for October 10, 2027, as an expanded edition of Heritage Day.
- Replica cannon participation costs approximately $750 for the parade plus $500 for firing 10 blank shots.
- The cannon requires approximately 100 feet of safety clearance to discharge.
- The oxen team vendor will confirm availability by January 2027 due to livestock health variables.
- Initial marching participant contracts are being prepared for Town Administrator review.
Outcome: Draft contracts for marching and historical units will be submitted through town channels for formal execution.
