The 12 Atmore Chamber Ambassadors will march in Gov. Robert Bentley’s inauguration parade in Montgomery later this month.
Sheryl Vickery, executive director of the Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce, said that State Rep. Alan Baker nominated the Atmore high school students to march in the parade, and his nomination was accepted. The parade will be Monday, Jan. 19, in downtown Montgomery.
“It’s a very exciting opportunity for these kids,” Vickery said.
Ambassadors are local high school students who help with city and chamber functions, and act as representatives of the city of Atmore.
This year’s Ambassadors are Joshua Bonie, Alexis Clark, Claire Dawe, Megan Fournier, Wesley Hostetler, Benjamin Hubert II, Dana Hursh, Amanda Maye, Perry Metzler, Ty’Anthony Riley, Anna Catherine Sasser and Anissa Watson.
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at the Court Square Fountain and move up Dexter Avenue to the Capitol. The parade will then turn left on Bainbridge Street and then right onto Monroe Street, ending at the Cramton Bowl Multiplex.
