• Lumberjack Days Parade GRAND MARSHAL announced and NEW 11 a.m. start time for parade

  • Stillwater, MN - The Greater Stillwater Chamber Foundation (Chamber Foundation) is pleased to name Robert (Rob) Bach as the Lumberjack Days Parade 2023 Grand Marshal.

    Rob is the principal at Stillwater Area High School (SAHS). Rob will be starting his 32nd year in education and his 10th year as the principal at SAHS after serving as a science teacher, coach, and assistant principal. During his time as principal, SAHS has added 9th grade students, been recognized as an anchor school in the Gates Foundation's nationally recognized Network for School Improvement, and successfully launched a comprehensive Pathways program helping students make connections between their coursework and areas outside the classroom. He is tremendously proud to lead a school that celebrates academic excellence and is a source of pride in the greater community. GO PONIES!

    "Rob brings tremendous energy and passion to his work at the high school. He is a tireless advocate for his students and the ultimate Pony fan. During the days he's walking the hallways, high fiving and chatting with students. And nearly every night, he's in the audience or on the sideline cheering them to success. We have an outstanding community because we have people like Rob supporting our kids."  Dr. Mike Funk, Superintendent, Stillwater Area Public Schools

    The Chamber Foundation will be hosting the Lumberjack Days Parade in 2023 on Sunday, July 16, in partnership with the Locals who host Lumberjack Days, July 14-16.

    The LumberJack Days Parade will have a NEW parade start time of 11:00 a.m. The reason for the earlier start time is to have the parade units step off at a cooler part of the day and to end earlier in the afternoon, for the community to enjoy more time at the Lumberjack Days festivities in Lowell Park, which typically end at 6 p.m.

    Find more information about Stillwater Lumberjack Days, July 14-16 2023 here and the Lumberjack Days Parade on Sunday, July 16, here. The Chamber Foundation is currently taking applications for parade units and seeking Parade Sponsors.
