Holiday Message from Parade Chair Joelle Peelgren Greetings and welcome to the 68th Annual Covina Christmas Parade. The Parks & Recreation and Library Services Department and the Covina Christmas Parade Volunteer Committee are delighted to present this evening’s event. What is your favorite Christmas story? Is it a story that you like to read and reread over the years, or maybe it is a story that you have lived? Tonight's theme, "My Favorite Christmas Story" is one that brings to life significant memories of our childhood. It prompts us to recall what stories are still important that we share with our children, our families, and our friends. Every individual also comes with their own story... stories of joy, of challenge, of heartache, and of redeeming love. One of my favorite Christmas stories is one that you are writing with us tonight ... one that writes a new chapter every year. Tonight is the 68th chapter of one of the best stories I know ... a love story if you will ... of a city willing to shine a light on the joy of Christmas ... a story that is all about a parade in the City of Covina that magically appears once a year to bring a community together ... to bring smiles to the faces of hundreds of children. Thank you for helping us write this most amazing story! We hope you know how thankful we are for you, and what a difference you make to encourage and support our communities by joining with us tonight. Wishing you the Happiest of Holidays and a very Merry Christmas! May your Christmas story this year be one of great courage, hope, and love.

Bob served the Committee for more than 44 years. From the parade route to the Executive Chair, he was the embodiment of “been there, done that.” Bob, along with his wife Marilyn, were always available (many times Marilyn with her homemade fudge) to help in any capacity. The Christmas Parade logo was his concept. The Star that shown on top of the City Christmas Tree for 27 years was Bob’s handmade project. Bob loved Covina High School Football and the Covina Christmas Parade, though not necessarily in that order. After retiring from the Committee in 2010, the Executive Committee created the Emeritus Program to honor those that had been of exceptional service to the parade. Bob Humble was presented with the Emeritus Card number 001. He continued to come to the parade and greet guests with his smile and good nature. Bob’s spirit lives on in the annual Covina Christmas Parade, and we will always miss him. His passing was a loss for the entire community. COVINA CITY COUNCIL
