Each year the parade attracts hundreds of children and their guardians to what has become one of the largest community parades held in the region. The success of the parade is dependent on community-wide involvement including: Kiwanis members assisting with all facets of preparation and delivery of the parade including planning, fundraising, serving as parade marshals, costumed characters, barricade erectors, etc.; community organizations, businesses entering floats; the Legion graciously offering up their facility as well as supplying cookies and hot chocolate to parade participants; and local township officials and staff assisting with providing safety assistance.
