<br />Lorain has started to send out parade applications. She has received 2 applications back already.
<br />Also, some groups who will not be participating this year have sent notifications.
<br />Gina Johnson may not be able to participate in the 2017 parade. Committee may ask her to set up
<br />her display in the Town Hall for Patriots’ Day.
<br />Kim Coburn will contact Tanya Morrisett about whether she will be in Lexington for Patriots’ Day,
<br />marching as part of the “Spirit of 1776” group.
<br />Kim will contact Suzie Barry to ask if she has lists of parade participants for years previous to
<br />2014.
<br />Grand Marshall for this year will be Coach Bill Tighe.
<br />Paul Jenkins will work on arranging cars for the Grand Marshall, White Tricorne Hat recipient, and
<br />others in the parade who will need transportation.
<br />Sandy Podgorski is working on the Schedule of Events for the weekend, along with June Baer and
<br />Suzanne Caton.
<br />Getting a parking map for Patriots’ Day is still in progress. June will follow up with the Town
<br />Economic Development Department because they are working on developing a visitors’ parking
<br />map.
<br />The number of Schedule of Event programs to print this year was discussed. The committee
<br />decided to print 2500 this year. Copies will be left at the Visitors’ Center, the Community Center,
<br />Buckman Tavern, Town Hall, and possibly the Minuteman Park Center. Committee agreed that
<br />distribution of the printed schedules should focus on places where out-of-town visitors will be.
