We are proud to announce some of the esteemed participants in the
2019 Chatham July 4th Parade:
GRAND MARSHAL
The Grand Marshal for the 2019 parade will be Ivan Bassett, a lifelong resident of Chatham and beloved fixture in the community. As a signalman in World War II, Mr. Bassett served in every major battle in the Pacific, including Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and won 10 battle stars. After the war, he returned to Chatham, married and raised a family, and worked for the local fire department and school system. We can’t think of a more perfect individual to represent this year’s parade theme, “Chatham Honors You! Service Members Past, Present, Future.”
JUDGES
The Judges for the 2019 parade will be:
- Danielle Jeanloz, Executive Director of the Atwood House and Museum
- Patricia Vreeland, former Chatham High School nurse and volunteer extraordinaire
- Perry Comeau, Valedictorian of Monomoy Regional High School Class of 2019
MASTER OF CEREMONIES AND SINGER
Sarah Colvin, local Cape Cod broadcast journalist, will return as Master of Ceremonies, and after a wonderful performance last year, Brooke Linnell, Nauset Regional High School Class of 2017, will sing our National Anthem!
