Applications Now Being Accepted For The 2008 Helldorado Parade
Applications are now being accepted for the 2008 Helldorado Parade. The parade will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 17.
In 2005, after seven years of absence, the time-honored Helldorado Days tradition was resurrected in celebration of the city’s Centennial. Based on its success, organizers vowed to keep up the tradition.
What began as a tool in 1935 to bring tourists to town following the completion of construction on Hoover Dam evolved into a celebrated event that united locals with community spirit and raised money for charities. In its heyday, Helldorado was centered on Western-themed events such as the Kangaroo Court, Old Timers Parade, Rodeo, Whiskerino Contest, Beauty Parade and Children's Parade. Events planned for this year include the parade and new fireworks show, an art show and silent auction, the Shootout Charity Golf Tournament and the Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament. Information on these upcoming events can be found on the official Helldorado Days Web site at http://www.elkshelldorado.com/  .
Those interested in entering a float or participating in the parade can download a registration form  . Forms must be received by the city no later than Monday, April 27. For more information on the parade please call (702) 229-6501.
