“Salute to Sports Fans” Highlight 2008 Fall Foliage Parade Theme
NORTH ADAMS – The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce and the Fall Foliage Festival Parade Committee announced today that they are looking for float builders to enter into the Fall Foliage Festival Parade. Recognizing that the young and the young at heart love a parade, the Fall Foliage Festival Parade committee has selected “Salute to Sports Fans” as the theme for this year’s parade. The Parade is scheduled for Sunday, October 5, 2008 at 1:00 PM in North Adams.
“This is a great chance for companies and organizations throughout the Berkshires to showcase their floats. We look for some exciting floats based on this theme, not only for the Northern Berkshire Fall Foliage Parade but also for the Children’s Parade,” said Rod Bunt, Fall Foliage Festival Parade Committee Director. Assistance and advice will be provided for groups that are new to this endeavor. It takes time, skill and imagination to build a winning float, along with the enthusiasm of dedicated people. “Whether the float supports youth football, T-ball, high school, college or pro teams, the committee hopes that people of ages will get involved in this year’s festivities.”
The following float awards will be given: Director’s Award at $200, Grand Marshal Award at $250, Mayor’s Award at $350, Hayden Award at $350 and the Harry S. Orr Award at $400. The float submission deadline is Friday, September 5th and float application forms are available on-line at www.fallfoliageparade.com or by calling Christine Hoyt at (413) 499-4000 x26. |
