Thank you to all of the local businesses/organizations who hosted fundraisers, our business donors, and our individual donors. The event would not have happened without your generosity. A final shout out to Karen with Heartland Church for designing and selling the amazing parade t-shirts (printed by West88) this year with all funds going to our parade.

You and your church were incredibly generous with your talent and time. We also are so grateful for all your help with the clean up effort early the next morning to remove firework debris. Gillice Italian Ice & Ice Cream also did an incredible job getting up and early (maybe even before the birds got up to make sure HHS was cleaned up.
