Commission discusses inviting Coast Guard and other partners to July 4 parade
Summary
Commissioners considered inviting the U.S. Coast Guard and local partners to join the parade procession and discussed staging order (walking banner, fleet of flowers, whale float, Coast Guard) and logistics for lane width and float length.
Participants raised the idea of involving the U.S. Coast Guard and other partners to augment the parade lineup and enhance community participation.
Committee member (S2) suggested contacting the Coast Guard; President (S3) and others noted the historical involvement of uniformed services in local parades and how their presence would increase visibility and community support. The group sketched a possible lineup: a walking banner, the Fleet of Flowers float, the Depot Bay whale float and, if available, a Coast Guard entry.
Organizers agreed to have S2 or another volunteer text or call the Coast Guard chief and to register any external partners who want to participate; final participation remained contingent on external confirmations.
