Graduation banners, parade approved by Worland council

WORLAND —The Worland City Council approved two graduation events at Tuesday night’s regular meeting.

The council approved allowing the Worland High School parent group to place banners of the seniors on the light poles in downtown Worland. Kara Anderson said they are obtaining the necessary permit from the Wyoming Department of Transportation, requested assistance from Admiral Beverage so they would not need to use city resources.

The banners would be on display from April 25 through May 23 and taken down in time for flags to be placed for Memorial Day weekend.

The council also approved a graduation parade for 2 p.m. Sunday, May 15 from 20th Street to Railway Avenue.

She said each senior would be in individual vehicles. Vehicles must have four wheels or four legs (in case of horses). Candy can be thrown to spectators.

The Rotary Club will provide the insurance for the group, Anderson said.

She said due to scheduling of state events a Sunday was the best option this year.

Anderson emphasized that the events are sponsored by the parent group and are not official school activities.
