The Review • Summer 2019 • Page 17 Message from the Director Tell us where By Vicki Hoyt, Greenwood Seafair Parade Director Get ready to celebrate 70 years of the Greenwood Seafair Parade, presented by Fred Meyer! The Greenwood Parade started along with the Seafair Festival to give! and was one of the original community events. I have been asked why the Greenwood Parade is on a Wednesday evening. Until about 10 years ago, the week before the Torchlight Parade had a parade almost every day of that week. What better way to celebrate our community, providing a family event and bringing a community together. This year, the Greenwood Seafair Parade will highlight the Seafair Festival Volunteer Leadership Family Heads. Most of you know the Pirates and Clowns, and the many activities and events they are involved in. The Commodores, Seafair’s hosting family to visiting festivals, are supporters of the Scholarship Program and newly formed Women in Leadership program. The Boat Club assists Seafair in the production of the Hydroplane races, and the Parade Marshals assist in the production of the Torchlight Parade and help approximately 30 other communities produce their events throughout the Pacific Northwest. We will also be featuring some of the traditions of Seafair in the Greenwood SM Parade with former Miss Seafairs, various dignitaries, and several units from our community. The Kids parade has changed to include our neighborhood children who want to join the parade the day of. We do ask that a parent or guardian be present for added safety and their enjoyment. If you plan to bring your child, meet us at 92nd and Greenwood in their best costume ever, or make a float. We Rewards Points, Fuel Discounts & now... Community Rewards, do ask that you do not include bubbles. For the safety of everyone, candy may not be thrown to the crowd; it can only be handed out from the sidelines along a new program where you help decide which organizations the route. Fred Meyer supports with $2.5 million in donations annually. I hope you and your family can join us on July 24, 2019, at 6 pm.
