Pink ribbon parade Sunday for Jaycee Lee Dugard

A pink ribbon parade is planned at 11 a.m. Sunday to celebrate the reappearance last week of Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was kidnapped 18 years ago at the age of 11 while she was on her way to her bus stop.

The parade is being organized by Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe. It will begin at the El Dorado County branch library on Rufus Allen Boulevard and then proceed along Highway 50 to South Tahoe Middle School.

South Lake Tahoe City Councilwoman Kathay Lovell, who announced the parade at today's council meeting, said the route is the reverse of that walked on the 10-year anniversary of Dugard's disappearance.

A trolley will be available for those who wish to participate but aren't able to walk the route, Lovell said.

Pink was Dugard's favorite color, and her classmates at Meyers Elementary School started a pink ribbon campaign at the time of her disappearance to show their hopes for her safe return.
