The Todd Liberty Parade takes place every\u00a04th of July and relies on many \"\"volunteers to\u00a0plan, design and make the Liberty Parade happen. This\u00a0amazing parade draws residents and\u00a0visitors alike – at least half of whom walk in the parade wearing costumes and hats and carrying banners and instruments, most of which were made by Elkland Art Center. Many months go into preparing the many costumes and details surrounding one of Todd’s favorite events. The more hands, the better.\u00a0Join the effort by contacting us<\/a>.<\/p>\n
