• REQUEST FROM CLIFTON FORGE MAIN STREET TO HOLD A “REVERSE” CHRISTMAS PARADE DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND IN AN ABUNDANCE OF SAFETY AND FOR ASSOCIATED STREET CLOSURES

     Clifton Forge Main Street would like permission to hold a reverse Christmas Parade on December 4, 2020 from 6-8 PM from the 400 block of E. Ridgeway to the Clifton Forge Fire Station on D Street. The participants will be assigned locations for set up and will remain in that location for the duration of the parade. Handing out candy this year will not be permitted due to the risks of COVID-19, but they hope to have Santa at the end of the route at Town Hall. All spectators will remain in their vehicles and drive along the parade route to view the various participants. They respectfully request that Ridgeway Street and Main be allowed to become a one-way street going East beginning at 3 PM that day and that Commercial Street be closed between Ace Hardware and Sona Bank. Entries in this year’s parade will not be judged and no trophies will be given out. They, as in previous years, will work closely with the Police and Public Works Departments to provide a well-organized and safe event for the community. Since this is the first time doing an event of this nature, some of the plans may need to be altered as more discussions with those departments take place and should the need arise. The theme for this year’s parade is Love, Joy, and Unity.

          RECOMMENDATION: Grant request
