We also need volunteers to help us carry the lantern and walk in our section during either or both of these parades. (Adults needed for lantern; families/kiddos are welcome too,…we’ll have something for everyone!). Please sign up here!

A very special thank you for Chester Creates for helping us envision and put together this lantern!
