Packard Family of Lovettsville Takes Home 10th Annual Patriot
Cup
Leesburg, VA (July 7, 2017) – The 27th annual
Leesburg Independence Day parade featured a
wide variety of entries this year. Members of the
Leesburg Daybreak Rotary Club judged the Packard
family’s float as “best in show” and awarded them
the 10th annual Patriot Cup. The float featured
figures representing the various branches of the
United States armed forces riding on the back of a
bald eagle. Mayor Kelly Burk presented the trophy
to Craig and Leanne Packard and their son Ryan,
who live in Lovettsville. The cup will be engraved
with their names and placed on display at the
Leesburg Town Hall. The Patriot Cup competition is
sponsored by Loudoun Now newspaper.
According to Leanne, she and her family thought it
would be fun to create the float and they really
enjoyed the parade.
