The parade is great fun, and, I know from the response that everyone found it really rewarding to take part - and I don't just mean financially. The retro theme gave everyone the widest of choices and may be retained for next year's event.
Here is the challenge - how do we improve the numbers taking part? There seems to be an interest, but its getting folk to get together and and do something. Someone has said it is our community event - absolutely - so please try and support the parade before it dies out. It would be easy to get discouraged and let it go; however, for the people who made the effort, we will continue to ask for the support to run again next year.
Are you interested?
Do you want to save this event?
You have a year to think about it - so why not ask your firm, group, pals etc to take part. I can assure you it is a rewarding experience - especially when you see the kids faces light up.
