Sheriff Cameron Grand Marshall of ’14 Parade

St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office to be Celebrated At Third Annual Pride in the Park Parade

The 2014 parade celebrates the community’s support for the men and women of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office.

 “We wanted to take an opportunity to showcase and recognize the special relationship with the Sheriff’s Office and the Lexington Park community,” said Mark Pinekenstein, Lexington Park Business and Community Association Chairman. “We wanted to thank Sheriff Tim Cameron and pay tribute to his deputies for their continued work in making Lexington Park a safer place to live and work every day.”

Sheriff Cameron has been named the parade’s Honorary Grand Marshall. Among the community member businesses and organizations slated to join the Sheriff at this year’s march include the Leonardtown High School marching band, the color guard from Naval Air Station Patuxent River, the Lexington Park Rotary Club’s King Oyster, a dance group from Competitive Team Gymnastics, the St. Mary’s County Library, Great Mills H.S. Navy JROTC, Chopticon H.S. JROTC, Taylor Gas and many more. Dignitaries scheduled to appear include the St. Mary’s County Commissioners and Delegate John Bohanan.

The parade will pause at the intersection of Great Mills Road and FDR Blvd. for a ceremonial ribbon cutting to mark the completion of construction of FDR between Great Mills Road and South Shangri-La Drive.

The parade begins promptly at 10 a.m. at the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department parking lot along South Shangri-La Drive. The route will continue on South Shangri-La to South Essex to Great Mills Road. The march makes its way back to the fire department via the alley adjacent to Raley’s Home Furnishings.
