Santa Claus Parade 2012

Date Posted: Tue, Feb 5 2013
From: Tue, Feb 5 2013 To Wed, Feb 5 2014


Once again this year, Waypoints had a successful entry in the Downtown Christmas Parade. This year’s theme for our float was Angry Birds for which we won 3rd place in the under 20ft category.

Special thanks go out to Corey Foley, Jennifer Kitselman, Melissa Mouland, and Amanda White who were on the committee. Also, thank you to all the staff and young people who volunteered to help build the float on Saturday and who participated on the float on Sunday.

A huge thank you to Charlie Parsons of CW Parsons who volunteered their warehouse for the build, found us the trailer, drove the truck to pull the float and provided pizza and pop for those who came to help out or just to watch.

Of course, we also owe a debt of gratitude to our volunteer, John Puddicombe, who spent about 7 hours building the float on Saturday, participated on the float on Sunday and then spent a few more hours dismantling the float at the end of the day. All of this on his own time.

Thank you all for your support again this year.
