Corvallis Pedicab Makes the 25th Annual Holiday Parade

....The float dedicated to peace and goodness for goodness' sake included a banner at the lead, the pedicab itself, Don Boucher on his bicycle
with another "be good for goodness' sake" sign and several community members walking with PACE flags and the state flag. Special thanks
goes to Alan Deitch and his family, Ellen O'Shea and James Emmanuel for their help with walking and waving the flags.

This was a community sponsored float: Crall solicited small donations from friends, community members and organizations to cover costs
such as printing,entry fee, lighting and the small get-together held afterwards to thank parade participants. Donations ranged from $5 to $30.
There was an overall wonderful response from those who believe in peace and/or a more secular message for the Holidays, and several parade
organizers expressed gratitude and welcomeness. It is hopeful that this can become a tradition for the Holiday parade. Depending on where
the company is next year, perhaps a few floats dedicated to bicycle commuting, secular holiday messaging and other positive ideas can fill
the streets on this day after Thanksgiving mainstay.
