SADDLE state and foundation grants, says Robin Dunn, vice president of the Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade.

“We’re still a nonprofit, but we just have a different lettering (that) opens us up for all kinds of

other benefits,” Dunn says. “It takes thousands to put this on every year.” Marty Kennedy, president of the board, estimates that the event requires $40,000 annually. Some of its expenses include hotel rooms for the 60-plus entrants, renting the fairgrounds arena, advertising and cleanup crew fees.

“It gets gobbled up pretty fast,” Kennedy says. “We like to have a little bit of money left over every year — just seed money to get started — but we rely on contributions from the community and local businesses, and a lot of that is inkind donations: There are a number of businesses that help put up signs and set up barricades.” In 2018, Marty and his wife, Patty Kennedy, feared the parade would collapse because of a lack of new volunteers and diminished funding. Now they are more confident in the parade’s sustainability because of

‘‘

Lawrence supports us very nicely ... Rain or shine, they’re out there for us.” — Robin Dunn, vice president of the OldFashioned Christmas Parade

its 501(c)(3) status and increased community support. Envista Credit Union, 1555 Wakarusa Drive, is helping sponsor the event, providing a $2,500 grant and multimedia advertising support throughout the month of November. Another major contributor is Kennedy Glass, 730 New Jersey St., which will send employees downtown on the morning of the event to build and set up parade stands and take them down afterward.

This will be the 28th parade, and its route will be subtly different than in the past. It will still start at Seventh and Massachusetts streets, but the procession will continue beyond South Park, the usual stopping point, and end at 15th Street instead. The two extra blocks of seating will help with the parking situation and allow people to spread out more. Currently the parade has 60 entries with seven newcomers. Some of the entrants will be coming from Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma. “We are glad to have some younger kids stepping up and coming,” Patty says. “So far we’ve got about 60 entries, which consist of 10 riding groups. We like to

limit our riding groups because we’d really rather see the stage coaches, the buggies and all that.” Among the new entries is a miniature pony named Cookie. “Two young gals are coming for the first time, and they’ve been exercising their pony since June to get him ready,” Patty says. Other highlights will include a six-mule hitch and a group out of Nebraska called the Harness Hustlers. Horses in the parade will be dressed in holiday regalia, and there will be no motorized entries. Dunn will be aboard the final stagecoach along with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Organizers are hoping for good weather on the day of the event, but the parade has only been

canceled a couple of times throughout the years because of icy conditions. According to Dunn, who has participated in the event for all but one year, people will come to watch the parade no matter what the weather is like. “Lawrence supports us very nicely,” Dunn says. “If it’s raining, they’re there anyway. If it’s cold and blustery, they’re there anyway. If we’re there, they’re there. Rain or shine, they’re out there for us.”
