How much did we love this?! Enough to do it all ag How much did we love this?! Enough to do it all again? Want to help make that happen? Here’s how you can give us the best possible chance of finding the funds and bringing the joy back as soon as possible - it’s really easy and there’s two options: 🌟Complete this really short audience feedback survey. It’s super-speedy and will really make a difference to our funding applications (clickable link via linktree in bio) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeO_t5hfUDi0FTRw_MhvD3GvJ8i2JzCgx8XeOLNFCknmUoMLQ/viewform 🌟If you’re able to, please make a donation to our crowdfunder. We know we’ve met the target already, but we set it very low - this is just a tiny percentage of the actual costs of running the project. If we’re able to demonstrate that there is a huge local appreciation for the parade then we stand a much stronger chance of raising the rest of the funds. NOW is the time to donate and make it clear how much we value this in our community (clickable link via linktree in bio) http://tinyurl.com/summerparade25 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ❤️ 📸Gorgeous photos from @craigshaw7267
