Berkshire Chamber Needs Float Builders03:59PM / Tuesday, September 07, 2010
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce and the Fall Foliage Festival Parade Committee are seeking float builders to enter into the Fall Foliage Festival Parade. The committee selected "Our Heroes" as the theme for the 2010 parade, giving participants an opportunity to celebrate all of the heroes in their lives: hometown heroes, military heroes, and even our favorite superheroes. The parade is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 3, at 1 p.m.
"We are confident that the community will once again present some creative floats for the event," said Rod Bunt, Fall Foliage Festival Parade committee director. "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. Float application forms are available at www.fallfoliageparade.com or by calling Christine Hoyt at 413-499-4000, Ext. 26.
