No Bull! The Balls Will Run This May in Port Townsend, Washington
No Parade? No Problem! On to Plan B… Just a minor “bump” on the road!
Many of you have been there, waiting for the Rhododendron Festival Grand Parade to start and you make your way down to Monroe street to watch the golf balls take over the street for the Port Townsend Sunrise Rotary’s “Running of the Balls,” just before the Grand Parade. But this year will be a little different because there will be NO grand parade to follow us.
The 9th annual event, which involves releasing a few thousand numbered golf balls on the Rhody Festival parade route on a steep portion of Monroe Street where they bump and bounce their way to the bottom and get captured in the final shoot, will have a different look this year with the Rhododendron Festival Grand Parade cancelled for a second year in a row.
