This year\u2019s theme, \u201cThe Gift of Giving Continues,\u201d highlights the community\u2019s spirit of generosity and encourages residents to carry that tradition throughout the year. The parade will celebrate compassion, unity, and local pride, with a special focus on those who make giving a year-round commitment.<\/p>\n
