5. Sanger Christmas Parade Follow Up.
Brian Crenwelge would like to see more lights on the floats. We can put an emphasis on this
for 2014.
The parade route also needs to be understood better.
Carrie Bilyeu had a concern regarding traffic immediately before the parade and parking along
Bolivar. Brian stated that the streets department had just worked the ice storm the weekend
prior to so we were controlling traffic with limited personnel.
Lee Allison stated that the Whitworth train is currently for sale. Brian Crenwelge has spoken
with Mr. Whitworth regarding the train.
For future parades the choirs need to sing on the square rather than walking in the parade. The
children (Butterfield) had a difficult time keeping up.
There was a large number of parade floats this year.
The Board would like to better decorate the location where pictures are taken with Santa for the
families.
Tom Swartz questioned if it would be better to drop Santa Claus off when he passes the park
rather than finishing the actual parade route.
