  • Notice to the Neighborhood: No Horses in This Year's Parade

    Please be advised that this year's neighborhood parade will not include horses.

    This decision was made due to the unavailability of horses and a lack of participation. As a result, the usual insurance and precautions related to horses will not be in effect for the parade.
