\n What they\u2019re saying<\/p>\n\u201cI’m looking forward to seeing some of my friends I grew up with.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dan Snopek (WNEP)<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m excited, I like parades, I think it’s a good way for communities to bond together and enjoy something. With all the things going on in the world, why not enjoy something right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Shimberlyn Walker (WNEP)<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thought, you know, let’s try to see if we can open up for parade day, and here we are, this is what we’re doing, so yes, it’s exciting, it’s an exciting process, and it’s a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sandy Rosado, Rocky’s Manager (WNEP)<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably one of the busiest days in downtown Scranton, especially for bars. So, it’s exciting because hey, we’re going to show off what we make, the quality of our product, but then at the same time we’re going to be dealing with a volume of people we’re not used to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tom Borthwick, Electric City Ciderworks Co-owner (WNEP)<\/p>\n
\u201cDefinitely excited, for a new business, this is a great influx for us, from a financial standpoint. The key is just to have a controlled environment that people can enjoy, that’s what we’re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mike Manci, 7 Under Golf and Social Co-owner (WNEP)<\/p>\n
