Water Heroes Take Center Stage at 44th Annual Buckboard Days Parade
“Superheroes” theme highlights community members from across Rowland Heights
(September 30, 2016) – Rowland Water District (RWD) will hit the streets for the 25th year in a row, joining local businesses and the community for the Buckboard Days Parade. On Saturday, October 15th at 9:00 AM, beautifully decorated floats, youth groups and bands will parade down Colima Road as “Rowland Heights Heroes” celebrating Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe’s last year in office.
“The Buckboard Days Parade offers the Rowland Water team a terrific chance to connect directly with the customers we serve,” says RWD Board President Szu Pei Lu-Yang. “Year after year the parade brings excitement to our community and we are delighted to be a part of it.”
Last year, Rowland Water received 2nd place for our float “Water Savers Make Good Neighbors,” reflecting the district’s commitment to conservation. In the last twelve months alone, RWD has offered hundreds of rebates and conservation kits to customers, and continues to offer free landscape classes designed to help residents and businesses save both time and money.
“Rowland Water is excited to join the community in honoring Supervisor Knabe at this year’s event”, says RWD General Manager Tom Coleman. “We also appreciate the opportunity to highlight our own “heroes”, the water professionals who are responsible for bringing water to the tap each and every day.”
The parade concludes with a free festival at Rowland Heights Community Park. For more information regarding the annual Buckboard Days Parade time, location and street closures visit http://buckboarddaysparade.org/.
