Coronado Prepares To Celebrate The Fourth: The Making Of The 75th Anniversary Coronado Parade Movie
As a Coronado native and from a Navy family, I love and appreciate our town’s history and current vibe for locals and visitors alike. As a junior at Coronado High School, I had my first TV show on our cable station and co-emceed several parades and community events along the way of my 30+ years of television career. And, of course, I’ve been in it for reunions and enjoyed it as a spectator, too. So, I was honored when the Coronado Fourth of July Board of Directors asked me to help with a video commemorating one of our town’s most iconic events, the Coronado 4th of July Parade. I produced the 50th Anniversary of the Concerts in the Park video in 2022, so this would be another meaningful hometown project!
