What s a parade without superstars from history, pop culture, cartoons, games, books and movies, she said. Parade favorites such as the All Star Salute to the Military, Undersea Jubilee, Spirit of 76 and Candy Land floats, as well as bands, performing groups and the iconic American Eagle giant inflatable balloon, will make return appearances this year. And, of course, the parade will feature its original entry Patriotic Peddlers where young Summerlin residents decorate their bikes and cycle the parade route kicking-off the annual event. We showcase Summerlin s culture and engage the community on a broad level by providing entertainment for kids as well as adults, said Barnson-DeNardin.

What can you do to stay cool at the parade? Schedule hydration breaks throughout the event. You should drink about one cup of water every 15 to 20 minutes even if you don t feel thirsty. Because perspiration evaporates so quickly in Southern Nevada, we may not be aware of our water loss, so set the alarm on your phone to remind you to take a drink. Think before you drink. Water is the best source to rehydrate your body and, if you are especially active, sports beverages can help replace the salt and minerals lost during exercise. Avoid caffeinated drinks which contribute to dehydration and plan to eat a light, nutritious breakfast before the event. Stay cool by seeking shade or bringing a tent or umbrella to set-up along the course. Additionally, you can place a cold towel around your neck and behind your knees or run cold water over your wrists should you become overheated. Cool down your body should you display any of these symptoms of heat illness muscle cramping; heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale and clammy skin; a fast but weak pulse; or nausea or vomiting. Heat stroke calls for immediate medical attention by calling 911 or going to nearest emergency room. Signs of heat stroke include a body temperature above 103 degrees; hot, red, dry or moist skin; a rapid and strong pulse and possible unconsciousness. Cool the body, but do not give the person fluids should signs of heat stroke be evident. Should you need assistance, please contact a parade official or report to an EMT station along the route. Stay cool and enjoy the Fourth of July with your family. And, as always, we re here whenever you need us.
