What’s better than watching the Winter Carnival Parade of Lights? Being in the parade, of course!
The Sandpoint Business Improvement District (BID) is looking for parade participants in this year’s parade, themed “Flurry of Fun!”
The Parade of Lights will take place in downtown Sandpoint on Friday, Feb. 12 at 5:30 p.m.
Those interested in having a float in the parade should check out www.downtownsandpoint.com for more information, or check out the Reader Facebook page for a printable entry form.
The deadline for entry is Feb. 5, so make sure to get those entry forms in soon!
Staging for the parade will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 12 and will take place at the City Parking Lot. The entrance on Third Avenue and Main Street is the only entrance open.
The BID also reminds us that there are no handouts or objects to be thrown, and pets are welcome as long as someone is designated the “pooper scooper” and cleans up after the animals. Not the most glamorous of jobs, but that’s what drawing straws is for. [BO]
While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
