A SPECIAL THANK YOU

P

ark Cities People staff appreciates the enthusiastic welcome our float received as well as those who visited our booth in Goar Park, children who entered our coloring book contest, and sponsors who helped us participate.

Thank you also to readers who submitted photos for last month’s parade history section: Patricia Anderson, Brad Bradley, Kirk Dooley, Mary Meier-Evans, Cecy Feld, Ericka Hefner, Casey Herren, Winifred Mundinger, Kay Neve, Douglas Scott, and Tricia Stewart.

Regrettably, a technological mishap omitted photo credits as the section went to press. Find a corrected version online.

Participation in the parade is its own reward, but some earned special recognition.

Daniel J. Drabinski reported 60 bicycle decorating contestants and well more than 100 riders. The winners: under 8 boy, Layton Thomas, first; Liam McCulloch, second; under 8 girl, Margot Mundinger, first; Ellery Thomas, second; over 8 boy, Gavin Thornfield, first; John Drabinski/Taylor Mackey, tie for second; over 8 girl, Rebecca Maddox, first; Katelyn Richard, second; family, Wightman family, first; Malone/ Longiro families, tie for second; best overall, Cathryn Wisley and family.

In the float competition, the Patriots Cup again went to Balloons Everyday. Second place: Cotton Bowl of Dallas. Third place: The Neuoff Family.

Fundraising for the North Texas Food Bank was approaching $31,000. The David M. Crowley Foundation will match most of that, Rotary Club of Park Cities reported.
