Fredbird Will Serve As Honorary Grand Marshal for Veiled Prophet Parade ST. LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com), June 29, 2009 - The beloved mascot of the St. Louis Cardinals, Fredbird, will serve as honorary grand marshal for the Veiled Prophet Parade in downtown St. Louis on Saturday, July 4, 2009. The nation's most spectacular Independence Day parade will kick off at 10:00 a.m., at Fourth St. and Washington Avenue, with giant helium balloons, elaborate custom-built floats and a spirited competition among marching bands. More than 100 units will stretch over five miles in length, including 16 bands with more than 1,500 members. "This is the summer of baseball in St. Louis," said Nelson H. Howe II, grand marshal of the Veiled Prophet Parade. "Fredbird just celebrated his 30th birthday last month, and Major League Baseball's 80th All-Star Game will be played at Busch Stadium on July 14," he said. This year's parade theme is "Everybody Needs a Vacation," in keeping with the parade's traditions of patriotic celebration and spectacular entertainment for the entire family. (L - R) Bob Schenk, chairman, VP Parade Public Relations Committee, Fredbird, honorary grand marshall, Lou and Louise, St. Louis' American tourists, and Nelson H. Howe II, grand marshall of the Veiled Prophet Parade, attended a special preview of the floats and the first press conference 'interview' with the St. Louis Cardinal's mascot.
