Public asked to vote for one of six Broomfield Days grand marshal nominees
Aug. 4—The vote for the Broomfield Days grand marshal is in the public's hands.
The pandemic forced last year's Broomfield Days to be held virtually, but this year's event is scheduled to be in-person on Sept. 18. The grand marshal "is a crucial part of the Broomfield Days Parade, riding in one of the front cars with their family," the Broomfield Days webpage reads. "This person will be recognized on stage and have the best view in town, watching the parade from the stage."
There are six community members nominated this year, and Broomfield's Communications and Engagement Operations Manager Becka Nordstrom said this year's nomination list was larger than ever.
"There were six individuals nominated this year, which was more than we have ever had," she said. "Most of the nominees had one nomination, two of the nominees had three or more (nominations) each. Usually, we see two or three people with three or four nominations total."
Residents can vote from the list of six through Aug. 15 at Broomfieldvoice.com/GrandMarshal. The grand marshal will be announced at the end of August.
