(photo/Mary Simmons) Another successful parade for Zurich by Vicki Wilder, Zurich parade committee chair ZURICH — On behalf of the parade committee, we would like to thank every- one for participating and attending the fifth annual lighted Christmas parade in Zurich. We had 44 entries in total. This year we had a few families who decided to put in a `family' float— way to go! And to all the businesses who took the time to enter a float, thank you, we really appreciate your participation. To help offset the costs of the parade there will be donation jars in the local businesses in Zurich until Dec. 15. Any donations would be much appreciat- ed. Thanks again and we will see you all again next year, the first Sunday in December. Zurich parade commit- tee: Vicki Wilder, Deloris Gingerich and Sharon Brokenshire.
