Villa Park commission finalizes float plans and orders candy for Fourth of July parade
Summary
Commissioners confirmed parade logistics with a small float and candy distribution, noted the VFW payment cleared, and discussed decorating logistics and volunteer assignments for the July 4 parade.
Mary Brunner updated the commission on Fourth of July parade preparations, reporting that the VFW check had been cashed and that parade lineup numbers (about 108 units listed on the parade site) will be confirmed roughly 48 hours before the event. The commission plans a small float that will accommodate riders in the back of a pickup or walking participants alongside the float; commissioners discussed decorating shifts and agreed to meet to assemble decorations the day before the parade.
Leslie was assigned to order candy for distribution from the float; commissioners emphasized that candy will be part of the parade plan and that participants asked to behave and throw candy responsibly. Members discussed practical logistics — balloon blowers, tape and lights — and identified volunteers who can help with setup and decoration. A volunteer sign-up and coordination plan will be finalized closer to July 4.
