City of Woodstock Announces Ralph and Carrie Roeger Will Serve as Grand Marshals of the 2026 July 4th Spectacular Parade
The City of Woodstock is proud to announce that Carrie and Ralph Roeger, owners of Rally Point Grille and well‑known champions of veterans in the Woodstock community and beyond have been selected as the 2026 Grand Marshals of the July 4th Spectacular Parade.
Carrie and Ralph are United States Marine Corps veterans who have dedicated their lives to serving others, first in uniform and later through business leadership, community involvement, and continuous support of veterans, first responders, and local organizations. Through their work at Rally Point Grille, the Roegers have built far more than a restaurant because they have created a gathering place where patriotism, service, remembrance, and community come together.
Rally Point Grille is known throughout the region for honoring military service year‑round through its museum displays, Fallen Heroes memorials, POW/MIA table, veteran support initiatives, and numerous partnerships with community groups. Beyond that mission, Carrie and Ralph actively support local schools, youth programs, first responders, nonprofits, and community events, believing that service extends well beyond military duty.
Their commitment to strengthening community connections and celebrating American values makes them a natural and inspiring choice for this year’s honor as Woodstock’s Parade Grand Marshals.
“Woodstock’s July 4th Spectacular celebrates the ideals of freedom, sacrifice, and service,” said Woodstock Special Event Coordinator Marybeth Stockdale. “Carrie and Ralph Roeger embody those ideals through their ongoing dedication to both country and community.”
