An annual, major and fun East Cobb event routinely added to East Cobb Rotary's calendar of plans is the East Cobber Parade and Festival which serves as one portion of the club's presence, participation, and public relations in the community. Our parade entry includes carrying club banners and a giant USA flag, having cars with Rotary signs, and the tossing of candy to hundreds of kids lining the parade route. Rotarians, their spouses, children, and even sometimes grandchildren, join our parade entry making an impressive sight on the main thoroughfare of Johnson Ferry Road in our East Cobb community. This year's event on Saturday, September 17, 2016 boasted 25 Rotarians and family members as lead organization in the parade carrying a large American flag which drew rounds of applause, salutes and words of gratitude. An estimated crowd of 4,000 attendees witnessed the Rotary Club of East Cobb in fine form.
