Parade committee seeks approval for 250th‑anniversary parade with 20 floats, $25 entry
Summary
Organizer Linda Springer told the Shelter Island Town Board her committee seeks permission for a July 4, 10 a.m. parade limited to 20 floats with a $25 entry fee, staging at the school and committee‑run fundraising and insurance routed through the Chamber.
Linda Springer presented the Town Board with a permit application for a Shelter Island 250th‑anniversary parade, asking the board to authorize the committee to proceed with preparations. "So I'm asking for your approval to move forward with my committee," Springer said, outlining logistics: a start at 10 a.m. on July 4, a maximum of 20 floats (20‑foot trailer max), a $25 entry fee and staging and parking at the school.
Springer said the committee has obtained insurance through the town and will funnel donations and application fees through the Chamber of Commerce. The board discussed allowing a special meeting next week to potentially approve the application so organizers can begin advertising; no formal approval was recorded in the transcript during this meeting.
