This
year's parade is shaping up to be something special. We hope you are
planning to participate. The City of Waukesha Chamber of Commerce was
honored to be asked by the city to be the stewards of the tradition, but
while we and a dedicated committee of community volunteers work hard
behind the scenes to organize the event, it truly belongs to the
community!
From
Scouting units, to public safety teams, veterans, business, marching
bands, dance troupes, and a few professional entertainers make the
annual tradition something families have enjoyed for over half a
century.
This
year's committee has blended that storied history with a theme that
encourages parade entrants to visualize what the future might look like
for this end-of-year holiday. Inspired by the final ghost of the classic
Dicken's "A Christmas Carol," the theme - VISIONS OF CHRISTMAS YET TO COME - is already giving long-time participants a new shot of creative enthusiasm.
Judges this year will be from Waukesha STEM faculty and the members of the city's high school competitive robotics team.
Last
year, the parade set records for the number of volunteers and
sponsorship participation -- this year, we want to keep that going
and...growing. Please contact the chamber offices if you are interested in supporting the community's official launch of the holiday season.
Perhaps you have a creative idea about a tweak to the parade - like our
addition last year of prizes for performing units for the first time in
over 20 years?? We'd love to hear those too.
Otherwise,
be sure to like the chamber on Facebook, since that is the ONLY place
where parade announcements are made regarding any changes or updates.
You can do that here: www.facebook.com/WaukeshaWorks
Call or email the chamber at (262) 521-3333 or parade@WaukeshaWorks.com.
We hope you are as excited as we are about this uniquely American event.
Looking forward to seeing all of you.
