A parade to celebrate the safe recovery of a missing child is planned for:
Saturday October 29th, 2016 at 11:00 am.

Parade Route: North on Ohio from 6th street to 3rd street to Liberty Park

The Boys & Girls Club will be holding a ‘Hot Dogs in Liberty Park’ fundraiser immediately following the Parade. The Sedalia Area Chamber of Commerce will be giving away free Fireball Run t-shirts.

According to a press release from the Sedalia Area Chamber of Commerce, The Optimists Club will be running the Liberty Flier for free rides to all children. Also, in Liberty Park Ron Garrison will provide a Bounce House free for all children to jump. 5-year-old Beck will be the Grand Marshall and ride on the Firetruck to lead the parade.

The connection with Beck began in 2014 with Fireball Run, an online TV show adventure, where 40 teams traveling 2,000 miles competing for points much like Trivial Pursuit. Their most important mission is handing out fliers along the way bringing awareness to help authorities locate missing children.

Ron Ditzfeld and Rick Yeager are the Sedalia Trailblazers team, and were assigned to Beck Hotsenpillar by the National Missing Children’s Network. Beck had been taken by a non-custodial parent when he was 2 years old. Through a partnership with Fireball Run, Sedalia Convention/Visitors Bureau, and the City of Sedalia, the entire community came out to make the film a huge success.

With 12 featured sites and downtown Sedalia making a dazzling performance Sedalia was presented ‘The Best City Award’ for the 2014 Fireball Run’s American Frontier Series.
