"Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.”

- William Pollard

And the winners are

If you missed this years annual Winterfest Parade, you must have been one of the 2 or 3 people that did. The people were 7-8 deep on both sides of the street from 5 points to Roys Street, and the paraders didn’t disappoint them!

We estimated that there were between 5 and 7,000 people on Main Street alone watching the parade. And when the fireworks started at 7pm, all they had to do was look up! Main, Liberty, High, Roys, Church, and all the other streets were lit up brilliantly!

We gave away 4 total awards, and these were the Winners:

Grand Marshal Award - BYC

And then three debatably equal awards went to:

P&P Dance

The Seventh Day Adventist Church

Snider Electric

Each of these floats embraced either one or more parts of the theme; A Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

Thank the nearly 35 floats, groups, and participants for putting on this great show of community!

For those of you that stuck around until 7pm, you saw the great fireworks display!

Thank you to the chamber members, and volunteers

A special thank you goes out to not only the private businesses that sponsored this event, but the dozens of chamber and community members that volunteered to run it. Keep in mind, this entire event is put on by your local businesses. The Chamber of Commerce is a PRIVATE ORGANIZATION, not part of City or Township Government. We do this to improve our community, and make it a better place. A place where we want to live, work, and play. The picture represents what we start with - below is what the community received. And like the quote above, we are not going to be complacent, we will continue to improve on the things we missed, and enhance the activities that were a success.

Thanks to our Corporate Members
