2005 Beaverdale 

Fall Festival Parade

 

Thanks to the initial idea by Ann Totusek and follow-up by Rachelle Hrubetz,

DMSFS participated in it's first parade, the Beaverdale Fall Festival Parade.

DMSFS members in costume handed out books while walking alongside the rocket ship float 

built by Greg Abba (based on the DMSFS logo designed by Les Roth).
