The plan is for a firefighter to take the picture from atop the Fire Department’s ladder truck with a good cell phone camera.

  • Parade floats and groups marching

Olivia Tuttle secured a bagpiper, Mike Dalton, and the Committee agreed to pay him $200 for his services. Justin will check with Melissa to see if the check can be ready to give him on Memorial Day.

The committee will finalize groups marching and put a list together. Remind all marchers to gather at 12:30PM at the intersection of Main Road (RT 23) and Sandisfield Road.

  • All other parade logistics, including food

Andrew Shaw will announce the parade from the Church steps. He has announced the parade before in 2019. He will need a lineup of the parade in advance and a power check of his sound equipment and the Church’s power.

Freezer for the ice cream: Tom will buy the ice cream at Wohrle’s. Justin will check if there is room in the Fire Station freezer. If not, Olivia will check with Hume to see if the ice cream can be stored there.

Hot dogs: Tom will buy the hot dogs at Wohrle’s. Hume will bring a grill set up to the Fire Station and cook there.
