2006 Parade
Our first parade, 2006, had over 80 entries in it and we did this in two months time...it was great! Now that we have 6 times more time for the 2007 parade it should be 6 times as good....right? OK, maybe not 6 times better, we really hustled last year and wouldn't have any family or job left if we worked at that pace for the whole year, having said that, the 2007 parade is going to be greatly improved as we start to raise funds, develop the infrastructure, advertise and can plan ahead to bring great entries and attractions to the parade. One thing you can count on, the focus of the parade will be on our veterans and it will get better year after year until it becomes a signature event for the East Valley.
