Since the inaugural Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life four years ago, the number of activities at the event has grown, and so has the attendance. 

This year, Thrive Allen County is adding the Parade of Lights.

Thrive organizers are encouraging everyone to join the festivities July 13 and 14. The idea is to create a float or take an existing float and add lights, program director Damaris Kunkler said.

Ideally, floats will stick to Thrive’s Charley Melvin-era theme, representing 1905, or to make decorations “like prisoners, dynamite looking or anything Charley Melvin,”  Kunkler said.
