All are invited and welcome to join in! Educate the public! Enjoy

*** The need for more non-drug alternatives in mental health care!

Just SHOW UP where we are gathering to begin our Eugene Celebration  
Parade entry!

We have extra signs and markers ready for early arrivals. We'll

For fun we'll have the Big Giant Pill chasing us, and then we'll
