Perch Base took the USS Phoenix float up to Prescott, Arizona on July 5th, 2025, for the Prescott Frontier Days^® Parade. The parade had many entries and a very large crowd to watch the parade. We were in the parade with Gudgeon Base and Tucson Base. About 25 members and family rode or walked in the parade from the 3 bases!
The 2025 Parade Theme was "WOMEN OF RODEO."
Twelve Perch Base members attended the parade. Although not all are shown in these photos, the complete list is included in the Sailing List link at the bottom of this webpage.
Many of the parade entries (including our USS Phoenix float) had memorials in honor of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who lost their lives protecting fellow Arizonans from the Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013.
If you missed the "BIG SHOW," you can view the 2025 Prescott Frontier Days^® Rodeo Parade on Youtube via KYCA Digital HERE. Our entries are at position 1:10:51 through 1:13:00 in the video. The narrative swapped the two entries, but "it's the thought that counts."
