I know the Fourth of July was a few weeks ago, but many thanks to all those who went to great lengths to make the Provo Freedom Festival Parade as pleasant as possible for those of us who live along the parade route on Center Street in Provo.
We appreciate Provo City for cleaning the street before the Children's Parade, before the parade on the Fourth and immediately after the parade; for the placement of garbage receptacles and Porta Potties along the route; for the police patrolling all night long to keep some semblance of order; and also for the many volunteers who cleaned up the biggest part of the mess after the crowds dispersed.
It is amazing how quickly and efficiently the garbage receptacles, litter and Porta Potties were picked up. By 4:00 p.m. there was very little evidence there had ever been a parade along the route. Thanks again for everyone's help to make the celebration in Provo such a wonderful event.
