Introduction
This virtual parade will feature entries from community members, organizations, and local businesses. Send us a video or a photo and we will include you in the virtual parade!
What are we looking for?
We want to see your creativity, talent, and passion for our community.
Individuals - Record a short 6 second shoutout or take a picture of your family with a greeting. This is a great opportunity to thank our first responders and essential workers (grocery store, hospital, utilities, restuarants, teachers, etc)
Businesses - Give us your 15 second elevator speech about what you offer, how long you have been in our community, and what you love most here! This is a great opportunity to thank our first responders and essential workers (grocery store, hospital, utilities, restaurants, teachers, etc)
Organizations - Decorate a car, boat, bike, wagon, scooter, or just yourself for the parade. Record a video up to 90 seconds with your group's performance or creation.
