The Rio Linda Little League held its annual parade this past Saturday (always the last Saturday in March, by the way) and despite the early plans not to hold a parade this year, tradition and the pleas of the community ruled the day.
Lions President and Twin Rivers Trustee Stacey Bastian offered to take over and guide the parade to home plate.
I think things went exceptionally well. I received compliments from local agencies on how well everything went. All and all it was an amazing day. All the smiles and excitement from the kids and Community truly made it all worth it and for the Community who in cooperation with we made it happen. Every kid I spoke to said it was the best day ever and that was the spirit of the day! I want to thank RLLL for believing in me to get it done in a short amount of time and for all of the teams that participated!
