The Genesis Group has been asked to participate in the South Jordan Country Festival Parade on June 20—and we need your voices!The theme for the festival is "Proud of Our Heritage, Embracing the Future," and we in Genesis embody that theme perfectly! It will be easy and fun to participate, and Sister Lyn Dudley needs as many participants as we can get. The songs we'll be performing are easy to learn, and there will be only one practice: at 6 p.m. at the Genesis Meetinghouse for the hour before our June Genesis fireside on Sunday, June 7.
The parade begins on Saturday, June 20, at 9 a.m. Those who are participating need to be at the South Jordan Equestrian Park parking lot, 11000 South 2200 West, at 7:30 a.m., wearing white shirts and denim jeans or skirts. For a map of the parade route, click here.
