A free program book supported the parade financially with advertising and sponsorship listings, contained a welcome by BH-BL President Thomas Lansing and featured stories on the history of the parade, and the BH-BL community. A marked “quiet zone” to accommodate those with sensory issues near end of parade. Bands and fire companies were asked to refrain from loud noises and flashing lights in this area. Fireworks were set off at dusk, at O’Rourke Middle School on Lake Hill Road. The parade was supported by outstanding photography, an advertising wrap and two full page on-line ads in the Daily Gazette.
