Oak Ridge - Onlookers will see something different at the 20th annual Jefferson Day Parade along Weldon Road on Saturday, July 22. Instead of the children riding their Americana-themed decorated bicycles, they will be wearing cardboard boxes. Children are being asked to be creative with a simple cardboard box, and not only to decorate it, but to wear it in the 11 a.m.township parade. Among the many possibilities are a robot, a race car, a TV set, a milk carton, a traffic light, a Lego block, an airplane, a box of popcorn, a computer, a locomotive, an army tank, a refrigerator, a birthday present, a Rubik’s cube, or even a jack-in-the-box. Those with a computer can simply Google “cardboard box costumes” to find Web sites with many ideas and directions. Each child’s head and feet must protrude through the box and not be obstructed in any way, and the child must be able to safely walk. Members of the Knights of Columbus Joseph F. Lamb Council #5510 in Milton/Oak Ridge, who have traditionally judged the Jefferson Day bicycle parade, will also judge the new contest. Trophies will be awarded after the parade for the most original, funniest and best appearing costumes. Medals will be given to all participants. There is no pre-registration or fee to participate in the parade and contest. All children wearing a decorated box should assemble at 10:15 a.m. in the Jefferson Twp. Municipal Building driveway on Weldon Road. They will be accompanied by members of the Knight of Columbus Council into the parade line-up and proceed up Weldon Road.
