July Jubilee Float Faces Rebuild Costs in Brady
The July Jubilee float may not run this year as a full rebuild costs over $1,000 including parade circuits. Float Chairman James Isbell notes City funds were $750 last year, with other groups pulling back on support. The Jubilee fears losing a symbol of Brady pride while exploring smaller, cheaper options that may not be welcomed by locals.
