A message from Parade Director Rod Bunt:

I can't thank the community enough for their support of this great event. Without your thoughts and donations the parade would have never gotten to 55 years. Thanks to the businesses who support us through good times and bad. Thank you to the individual contributors, the people who faithfully send us 100, 50, 20 and ten dollars each year, whether they come out to the parade or not.
