Onfortunately, the Rosef.est Parade was cancealed 10 minutes before we were to enter the starting gate. After one loud clap of thunder and bolt of lightening, followed by ten minutes of rain, the parking Iot was empty of participants and Joyce had an arm full (and then some) of wet costumes � which she laundered unti3_ 12:30�M. Hopefully, Boardsons were able to presexve tihe float parts, which had been "glittered" up this year, to be used next year. 2. Uisplay case: At last, the display case has found a home - at least unt�1 the end of September! It is in Che ha�X/entry area at Fairview Community Cer_ter. It Ioaks Iike it was meant to be there! Stop by and take a look. It ]_ooks like it was meant to be there. A Iabel still needs to be put on the top to identify us. City Hal1 would like us to trade some of the items in their case. Tf you have somethin�, let Joyce know. Jan will bring some vases. There really was nothing to trade between �he 2 display case. .Toyce will be returni.ng the ite�s that did not fit in the case. 3.
