“This year is looking incredible,” parade organizer Megan Quinn told The Chronicle, in an email conversation.

“With nearly 70 different groups signed up to march, we couldn’t ask for a better turn out. This will be a fantastic year for our beneficiaries, the Moreau Community Center and Tri-County Marines Toys For Girls and Boys.

“As much as I love the parade, I love what it stands for more: Community. We can expect floats, bands, motorcycles, and rumor has it, the man in red will make an appearance as well.”

There isn’t a theme. “For years,” said Megan, “we have heard of some REALLY COOL ideas what groups wanted to do for their float but it never seemed to fit the theme, so this year we are giving everyone some creative freedom and can’t wait to see the float that almost were finally come to life!”

There’s not a grand marshal either. “After such a long and tumultuous battle with COVID and everything else, the whole community deserves to be the grand marshal,” Megan said.

“The parade will also be broadcast live on our Facebook page with our lovely hosts Chuck Aiken and Erin Coker.” www.facebook.com/southglensfallsfire.
