We have a limited amount of loaner CW shirts available, but if you would like to purchase a shirt please bring $15 and let us know you are in need. The weather should be great for the parade this year, but again please remember sunscreen and eat a healthy breakfast. We hope to be able to return to Clovis West by 12:00pm, but times may vary.
