Pittsfield 4th of July Parade Committee Presents Poster Signing by Local Artist - May 07, 2008
PITTSFIELD – The Pittsfield 4th of July Parade Committee presents a parade poster signing event with Folk artist, Suzanne Goudreau, on June 3rd. The signing will take place at Greylock Federal Credit Union on West Street in Pittsfield from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm.
The 2008 Pittsfield Parade Poster, reflecting this year's theme, "A World of Music", is a wonderful depiction of Tanglewood on the 4th, measures 18 x 24 and is available for a $25 donation to the Parade Committee.
Folk artist Suzanne Goudreau, who has done most of the 4th of July parade posters, will be available to sign this year’s poster, and those from the past 10 years.
The Pittsfield 4th of July Parade has an historic reputation dating back to 1824, when the procession consisted of Revolutionary War survivors, patriots, politicians, and horse-drawn carriages. The parade was held off and on by various citizen groups until 1947 when it was taken over by the Pittsfield Permanent Firemen's Association. Under the firemen, the parade grew in size and popularity but was discontinued in 1976. After a bleak 1977 with no parade, a small group of volunteer citizens obtained $2,000 seed money from the City of Pittsfield and held their first parade in 1978. Over the years, this independent, non-profit organization -- the Pittsfield 4th of July Parade Committee, Inc. -- has grown in size, spirit, and determination, and with it, the parade has grown in size, quality, and popularity. Please send donations to Pittsfield Parade Committee Inc, PO Box 1738, Pittsfield MA 01202 Visit the website at www.pittsfieldparade.com. |
