It could not have been pulled off without your help. Thank you to the public, both locals and visitors, who came out to enjoy the sunshine and watch the parade. We would like to thank everyone for keeping the roads clear during the parade to ensure the safety of everyone involved. We would like to extend a huge thanks to our local Homer Police Department and Homer Volunteer Fire Department for taking time out of their busy schedule to take part in the parade and also to public works for use of their road barricades to ensure safety during the parade. A big thank you to Bay Realty for allowing the use of their facility for the judge's station and for being such a great host to the judges and emcee.

Also to Time White and our own Monte Davis for keeping the parade fun and entertaining as our great parade emcees.
