Disappointment, but determined to bring the Santa Claus Parade back in 2022.
Organizers have scrapped plans for the parade in 2021, citing the timing of the thumbs up to proceed further.
“The area Rotary Clubs hoped to host a Parade this year but approval to proceed came very recently and too late for the Clubs to organize the event, assemble funds to cover all
costs, and give fair notice to those creating floats and recruiting volunteers for the Parade,” a statement read Monday.
Planning for the 2022 event will being early in the new year, with invitations set to be sent in August for businesses and groups to start work on their floats.
The Santa Claus Parade has been an annual presentation since 1991 and was taken over by the local Rotary Club in 2005.
