“It’s a festival and we want
it to be truly festive.”

into place and Florence is
‘Always Ready to Rhody,’”
said Hannigan. “The Siuslaw
River Coast Guard Station is
celebrating its centennial year
of service in Florence, and
they are our inspiration for
this year’s slogan.
“The Coast Guard’s slogan
is ‘Semper Paratus,’ or
‘Always Ready,’ and they will
be our grand marshal for the
big parade.”
