South Lake Tahoe native Emily Cefalu will be riding in the Presidential Inaugural Parade Friday as a member of the Culver Girls Academy Equestriennes.
The 17-year-old senior is the daughter of Paige and Christopher Cefalu of SLT.
Emily is part of the 24-member girls mounted unit who will be participating in their eighth inaugural parade. They will be alongside the 56-members of Culver Military Academy's Black Horse Troop who will be at their 17th inauguration.
The 2017 Inaugural Parade will mark the 104th anniversary of the Black Horse Troop’s first ride down Pennsylvania Avenue. The mounted unit served as the official escort for Vice President Thomas Marshall during Woodrow Wilson’s inaugural parades in 1913 and 1917. Marshall was the former governor of Indiana, as is Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
Cefalu went to Sierra House Elementary, South Tahoe Middle School and spent her freshman year at South Tahoe High before transferring to Culver Girls Academy, a boarding school on Lake Maxinkuckee in Culver, Ind. She has been on the equestriennes team all three years.
