Fall Foliage Parade Donations Reach $37K

01:23PM / Monday, September 22, 2008

NORTH ADAMS — The Fall Foliage Festival Parade Committee is optimistic that this year the fundraising goal of $50,000 can be reached. With the generous contributions from both businesses and individuals, 2008 funds have reached more than $37,350. More than 140 contributions have been received to date

"With each passing week, we receive many more contributions from Northern Berkshire residents and businesses," said Rod Bunt, Fall Foliage Parade director. "It is clear that this community continues to be committed to supporting its traditions even during tough economic times."

Most of the parade funding comes from area corporate sponsors and city and state grants. Individual private donations are also vitally important to the parade's success, said Bunt.

The 53rd annual Fall Foliage Festival Parade is organized by the Berkshire Chamber of Commerce and will take place on Sunday, Oct. 5, beginning at 1.

The theme of the 2008 parade is "Salute to Sports Fans," offering an opportunity for sports enthusiasts to celebrate their favorite teams, sports heroes, or even the history behind beloved pastimes.

The grand marshal is former Major League Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent, a Williamstown resident and Williams College alumnus. Vincent was elected as baseball's eighth commissioner in a unanimous vote of major-league owners in September 1989 and served until September 1992.

"We are particularly honored to have Fay Vincent as this year's grand marshal to help us celebrate the splendor of the Northern Berkshire Fall Foliage Festivities," said Mayor John Barrett III. "Fay has been part of the Northern Berkshire community for nearly 50 years and we are pleased to recognize him for his many contributions to the area."

To support this year’s parade, send donations to the Berkshire Chamber of Commerce, 6 West Main St., North Adams, MA 01247. Checks should be made payable to "Berkshire Chamber of Commerce." For more information, visit the Fall Foliage Parade www.fallfoliageparade.com or call 413-499-4000.
