The parade will follow Memorial Drive and end in the east parking lot of Idaho State University's Reed Gym.

Seating will be available at Caldwell Park where Paul Anderson will act as announcer. The parade will feature veterans from all branches of the military.

Your directions are baffling and inconsistent. one cannot turn onto Oak street heading south on 15th. This makes absolutely zero sense.

without commenting on the discrepency it looks like the parade route has been updated by the journal to reflect reality. google maps incorrectly labels 15th avenue as "east oak street" which does not exist. the journal should pay me for bringing this to their attention. they need a copy editor and some writing help real bad.
