GREELEY, Colo. — The 102nd annual Greeley Stampede has chosen its grand marshals for its Independence Day parade.
Lynn and Deb Casseday will serve as the 2024 grand marshals for the Greeley Stampede Independence Day Parade on Thursday, July 4.
Greeley Stampede organizers said Lynn, a Greeley native, and Deb have a long history within the Greeley community.
Their start with the Greeley Stampede began as Gold Spur donors through Lynn’s construction business.
Later, Deb, with a history of riding in the Trail Dusters youth drill team, became a Stampede Rider in 1997. Lynn is also a member of the Wranglers volunteer organization.
Currently both Lynn and Deb are active in the Old Bucker organization, a group consisting of past committee members and spouses.
“Community involvement is a choice one makes. Deb and I both feel that being involved in community activities is our way of giving back to the community we love so dearly,” said Lynn Casseday. “To be recognized as grand marshals for the 102nd Greeley Stampede is very special. We are being recognized for our community efforts and are in great company with all previous grand marshals.”
The grand marshals will be recognized during the daily parades, PRCA ProRodeos, and the Independence Day Parade.
The Greeley Stampede opens Wednesday, June 26, and continues through Sunday, July 7, at Island Grove Regional Park.
The Greeley Stampede Independence Day Parade will be part of the festivities, stepping off at 9 a.m. on July 4.
The parade features more than 120 floats, marching bands and equestrians from around Colorado and surrounding states.
The parade starts on the University of Northern Colorado campus at 10th Avenue and 19th Street and runs along 10th Avenue to 5th Street just past Lincoln Park.
