Dana Crawford Named Grand Marshal For Stock Show Parade
Denver developer and preservationist Dana Crawford has been selected as the grand marshal for the 2019 Stock Show Kick-Off Parade.
On Jan. 10, Crawford will lead the traditional drive of longhorn cattle, horses and Western wagons through the streets of downtown Denver to celebrate the start of the 2019 National Western Stock Show.
“This is truly a surprise and an honor to serve as the National Western Stock Show’s Parade grand marshal,” Crawford said. “It ties so closely to our steadfast responsibility to further the great traditions of our Western heritage.”
Crawford has redeveloped more than 1M SF of historic property in the city of Denver.
“It is a great honor to have a Denver pioneer and visionary like Dana Crawford kicking off our iconic Stock Show Parade,” National Western Stock Show President and CEO Paul Andrews said. “Dana is an advocate for Denver’s historic preservation and our city’s unique character. She embodies the same appreciation of Denver’s Western heritage that the historic stock show represents.”
The parade starts at noon Jan. 10 at Union Station.
