For the first time in the 65-year history of CavOILcade, there will be no parade.

Pam Trosclair, executive director of CavOIlcade said there are a number of factors involved in this decision, including commitments several of the princesses already had, weather, and illness.

This parade was originally scheduled for Saturday, Oct.14, 2017 and along with everything else scheduled for the 2017 celebration, events have just recently been held, she said.

Tropical Storm Harvey is to blame for the October postponement of the event.

“We were able to get all the events rescheduled to meet the princess schedules, but the parade is one event we just cannot do,” Trosclair said. “We held coronation this past Saturday night and it was beautiful as always. Those white dresses and black tuxedos on these young people were stunning. We appreciate all the community support for CavOILcade, and look for princess applications to be mailed out in February.”

Anyone that had signed up to participate in the parade will be contacted in the next day or so.
