\u201cWe\u00a0invite our businesses, community leaders, and government departments to come and be a part of our Liberation Day Parade through either our float competition to compete for prizes or to be a food, drink, or arts and crafts vendor at our signature carnival event,\u201d said\u00a0Liberation Day chair Joe Ayuyu Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prizes for the float competition is currently set at $3,000\u00a0for first place, $2,000 for second place, $1,000 for third place, and $500 for fourth place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have exciting activities lined up for our Liberation Festivities in July, and we want to continue putting on a great event for our community, especially as we continue our recovery and weather through these challenging times,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Liberation Day vice chair Shayne Villanueva.<\/p>\n
Applications\u00a0for both the parade and concessions are now available at the Saipan Mayor\u2019s Office at\u00a0the ground floor of the CTC building in Oleai and online at\u00a0saipanmayor.net.<\/p>\n
