NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce and the Fall Foliage Festival Parade Committee announced that they are looking for float builders to enter into the Fall Foliage Festival Parade. The Fall Foliage Festival Parade Committee selected “Taste of the Berkshires” as the theme for the 2009 parade.
This theme is an opportunity to celebrate the unique and diverse flavors found within Northern Berkshire County. The Parade is scheduled for Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 1:00 PM in North Adams.
“The theme gives us a chance to salute the independently-owned restaurants that are attracting tourists and local folks here in Northern Berkshire,” said Rod Bunt, Fall Foliage Festival Parade Committee Director. “We are confident that the community will once again present some creative floats for the event. As always, the Parade Committee is happy to provide assistance and advice for groups that are new to this endeavor. We understand that it takes time, skill and imagination, and the enthusiasm of dedicated people to build a winning float.”
The following 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.
