Who doesn’t love a parade? Riders with the kind of horses that can handle excitement are invited by the New Jersey Quarter Horse Association to participate in Sussex County’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in Newton March 17. You don’t have to be an NJQHA member to ride, but an Irish theme is encouraged for all.
The parade starts at 11:30 a.m. Participants need to arrive between 9:30 and 11 a.m. Parking for trailers will be at Route 206 and Park Street. NJQHA signs will show the way to the entrance. A police escort will take riders from the parking area to the parade starting point.
Donuts and coffee, compliments of the NJQHA, will be offered to participants before the parade. For more information, call Susan Auer at (908) 418-5923.
