Memorial Day Parade Organizers Plan Battle of Bands, Logo Contest

The parade doesn't step off for nearly six months, but organizers are planning a Battle of the Bands fundraiser tonight and a logo contest for local high school students.

The 2013 St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade Committee will host a Battle of the Bands fundraiser at 7 p.m. tonight at the VFW Bruce Post #1146.

There is no entry fee for bands, and admission is $10 with proceeds benefiting the Parade Committee.

Members of the Parade Committee have also contacted Lakeview, Lake Shore and South Lake high schools seeking entries for the annual parade logo contest.

A panel of veterans will select the winning design, which will be announced Dec. 20 and honored during the 2013 parade.
