Pride runs deep in many aspects of our lives, from friends and family to country and community. The theme for the 2023 4^th of July seeks to put that pride on display. What brings a smile to your face when you see the flag and think of the UNITED States of America? What are the aspects of LaPorte, past, present, and future, which make you puff out your chest? What kind of entry can you place in this year’s parade that will have parade-goers talking about THIS year’s parade, saying things that make you proud of America and LaPorte. America Proud. LaPorte Proud. Close your eyes… what do you see, hear, and feel? It’s time for a PARADE!!
