Looks like we have a chance to volunteer! Bill Hooper on 10/13 wrote: "If this article had included a call for volunteers, I would have stepped up. Not without restriction, because I do have a paying job, but I'm certainly free some evenings and weekends. I suspect enough people would have stepped up, although the article fails to give us any indication how many were needed and what they would have needed to do."

I will support the volunteers. I will take either of you AND up to three others out to breakfast in Springfield if you volunteer. You'd have to call the number listed and get back to me via this forum. You can use your initials with the parade and a way to reach you. I will call the number, get your names/number and confirm the deal. 
I like parades for many reasons, but it's mostly about the kids.
