New Old Time Chautauqua Parade

Tuesday, July 19

12 PM - 12:30 PM

The New Old Time Chautauqua (NOTC) is working with the Washington State Parks and will tour seven parks this summer, including Lewis & Clark Trail State Park. We are very fortunate to have this opportunity to host this unique group and are certain that many people will benefit from this educational, historical, cultural and entertaining experience. For more about the Chatauqua information see below the PARADE description. The "EVERYBODY'S WELCOME" Parade is open to any local foks who want to join (community organizations and groups, scout groups, high school band, kids with decorated bikes, skate boards, scooters, colorful costumes, pets, dance troupes, baton twirlers, families, etc) the more the merrier. The PARADE will begin in front of the historic Dayton (Pietrzycki) High School Main entrance and head North to Clay Street, West on Clay to Second and South on Second to end at the Dayton (Pietrzycki) City Park. Parade viewers are encouraged to join the end of the parade procession and tag along to the City Park where there will be three hours of educational and entertaining workshops. If you don’t know what a “Chautauqua” is (like we didn’t), it is a cultural and social movement that started in upstate New York in the 1870s and flourished until the mid-1920s. During this time, hundreds of touring Chautauqua presented lectures, dance, music, drama, and other forms of “cultural enrichment”. In rural America, big tents served as temporary theaters for these productions. Lectures by author Mark Twain, suffragette Susan B. Anthony, or a production of “The Tale of Two Cities” are the kinds of entertainment one could expect at a Chautauqua show. The Chautauqua Institution still thrives in Chautauqua, New York. Teddy Roosevelt once called the traveling Chautauqua “the most American thing in America”. This form of live entertainment faded with the growing popularity of radio and motion pictures. NOTC is the last touring Chautauqua. It currently has 60+ touring members and was founded in 1981 by a group of adventurous performers, health care practitioners, and educators including the Flying Karamazov Brothers and Dr. Patch Adams. The idea was to revive the inspiring Chautauqua spirit and bring live entertainment and educational workshops to diverse rural communities. You may view their TEDx talk here. The NOTC project will benefit the community through educational and entertaining performances and workshops. The 3-hour workshops will include topics such as juggling, acrobatics, mask-making, dance, drumming, alternative energy, global warming, health education, etc. The targeted audience will be the community at-large but special effort will be made to reach out to and offer access to institutionalized and underserved populations such as regional summer school/camp programs, home school organizations, senior centers, assisted living facilities, detention centers, etc. In addition, NOTC will spend 5 hours traveling to venues (schools, institutions, etc) for both performances and workshops as requested by the venue.
