This last parade clocked in at 12 minutes.

The two before, Fiesta Days and the 4th of July, were less than 15 minutes.

I am sure local restaurants would be more than happy to give parade entrants a gift of lunch for all the time and energy it takes to be in a parade. Other forms of appreciation should happen as well.

It would be a crying shame if our parades, part of Americana, become a thing of the past.

By signing my name to this, I would be happy to be called to help out with our future parades. I am in the phone book. Hope others will participate too.
