Huber Heights commission approves participation in Dec. 6 Christmas parade, orders information cards
Summary
The commission voted to join the city Christmas parade on Dec. 6 and approved producing promotional cards about the commission and upcoming events; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Huber Heights commission voted to participate in the city’s Christmas parade on Dec. 6 and approved producing informational cards to hand out at the event.
Commission members moved and seconded a motion to join the parade; members approved the proposal by voice vote. Staff said the commission will create about 1,000 card-stock handouts, cut into quarters (four-up on a sheet) with one side promoting an MLK luncheon and the other side describing the commission and upcoming events. Jeffrey, a city staff member, said he would draft the card, circulate a proof by email and bring printed copies to the November meeting for review. “We will send it to everyone,” Jeffrey said.
The parade is scheduled for Dec. 6; lineup is at 2 p.m. with the march down Grant Pike at 3 p.m., according to information discussed at the meeting. Commissioners debated whether the group should simply walk in the parade, as it did for July 4, or also staff an informational booth at post-parade activities. The commission decided to participate in the parade now and defer final decisions about a booth to later planning, giving staff time to confirm logistics with event organizers.
The commission also discussed practical details for the outreach piece: roughly 1,000 copies on card stock, quartered for distribution, with QR codes for event signups. Jeffrey said he would prepare a draft and bring it back for the commission to review at the next meeting.
