ECC’s Festival of Lights Float Info – Join us!
Join the fun by participating with the Endurance Capital Committee’s Float entry at the 2024 Festival of Lights Parade on December 7!
Meet us at the top of Lincoln Way in the parking lot between the First Foundation Bank and the Western States Endurance Run Warehouse. (Wendell Robie’s old stomping ground.)
We need many hands from 12:00 Noon to 4:00 pm on Saturday. Take a break, eat and get ready for the parade that forms at 5:00 pm and Starts at 5:30 pm.
We will sprawl out quite a bit and so the Parade Managers have given us Harrison Avenue where we will get organized. I’m not sure what our entry number is but will find out next week.
Wear lights and fun hats, costumes or whatever you would like. Please spread the word to your respective groups too.
Thank you so much for joining us. Let’s show Auburn how to have some FUN!
We look forward to seeing you,
Shannon Weil
Spectacle Strategist & Whimsey Wrangler
and
Lori Stewart
Head Floatologist & Logistics Orchestrator
