The mayor of Ferndale, Gary Jensen, proclaimed July 24th is “Jake Locker Day” in Ferndale, WA. Jake Locker fans can visit Jake’s hometown this weekend to see Jake Locker, teammates and even Harry the Husky during the Old Settlers Parade.
Look for Jake Locker in a Fire District 7 firetruck during the parade that starts at 11:00 am. You may also spot his family. People are encouraged to wear purple & gold or blue & gold (his Ferndale HS colors).
