Potato Festival Parade, 2011

Rotarians Organize another great parade

With Rotarian Mike Barzo leading the way the 2011 Potato Festival Parade was another big success.  This year's parade grew by 10 floats and took about 1:20 minutes to pass through Alliston.   The streets were lined with people young and old enjoying the sights and sounds of the parade.  One of the additional floats this year was the Rotary float organized by Rotarian Carol Struthers.  A big thanks goes to Mike for taking on the very large job organizing the parade, Carol for leading the float decoration and all the Rotarians who helped, marshal the parade, and decorate and ride on the float.  Great work.  Click here too see more Rotary Float Photos.

On Saturday President Bev hosted our first Potato Festival Tag sale at her home on Albert St.  With the help of a crew of sellers and movers the team raised over $1000 for the clubs projects in the community and overseas.  Another great first for the club.
