History

Representative

The RFA has historically partnered with Miss Ritzville, Junior Miss, Distinguished Young Women, or Miss Lind-Ritzville to have ambassadors from our community ride on our float, and represent us in many neighboring parades.

Here is a list of our float themes, with the accompanying representatives from each year.
