Editor,
The Youth Committee of Envision Polson took on the task of organizing Polson’s Fourth of July parade with blind enthusiasm. We really didn’t know what we were doing, but we knew this project would be a good fit for our committee. Our parade theme was "America’s Promise, Celebrate Our Youth." We were given great instructions from the City who had planned the parade in the past, and we dived in.
It was amazing how many volunteers, participants and community supporters were there to help along the way. The whole experience was a wonderful reminder of why we live in a small town and how much fun it is to celebrate America’s independence. We would like to thank everyone who participated in and attended the Fourth of July parade and the block party that was held after the parade.
In particular, we would like to thank the Greater Polson Community Foundation for sponsoring the award ribbons and the flags that were distributed to the attendees.
We also want to send a huge thank-you to the Kiwanis for sponsoring the insurance for the parade and for helping out with lining up the floats.
We would like to thank Rich Forbis for volunteering as our Master of Ceremonies and all of the downtown businesses that were supportive of the event. We have received great feedback on the entire event; all the music and the flyover by the jets seemed to be especially popular. We hope to grow the parade and the block party bigger and better next year. Thanks again, Polson, and congratulations to our parade winners.
