St. Patrick’s Day Parade: fantastic weather. Need volunteers to blow up balloons. Used Snoopy/Sparky the Snowman/Chester the Dog from Woofstock handed out balloons but ran out before they got half way down through the crowd. We estimate the crowd numbered to about a thousand. We will order more balloons for next year. Our awesome crew of volunteers helped us to have a smoothly run operation and everyone seemed to have a great time. The crowd stuck around for quite awhile and just mingled, probably due to the great weather. We have some fresh new ideas to include in next year’s parade and look forward to working on it again next year.

“Fork to Fork”: cycling event to be held on week-end of May 21. The Town of Horicon has agreed to donate $1,000 towards this new event. We still have to make a request to the Town of Chester next month for a donation.

Rack Cards: Brandon and Patty Berg are working on the list and will have a number of people proof it before it goes out to print.

Taste of Tri-Lakes/Rotary Tree Lighting: we don’t have a date yet. Read more →
