VFW Post 688 participates in multiple parades each calendar year.  

 

The Post maintains a float and comrades may ride aboard the parade or march the parade route.  Post 688 is frequently invited to provide the Color Guard for Kendall County parades.  Parades provide an opportunity to promote patriotism, remind the public that VFW is an active part of the community, inspire other veterans to join the Post, and socialize amongst ourselves.  

 

Post  688 routinely participates in five area parades including

• Boerne Berges Fest Parade each June (http://www.bergesfest.com/)

• City of Comfort Independence Day Parade conducted annually during the 4th of July Weekend, (https://www.comfortchamber.com/events/independence-day-celebration/)

• Kendall County Fair Parade held each September during Labor Day Weekend, (https://www.kcfa.org/ events),

• Annual Christmas Parade held in Comfort, Texas  (https://www.comfortchamber.com/events/christmas-in-comfort/)

• Annual City of Boerne Weihnachts (Christmas Eve) Parade every December (https://www.ci.boerne.tx.us/564/ Weihnachts-Parade).

 

Post 688 members assemble at a time and place designated by the committee chairperson to prepare the float and participate in the parade.
