From the meeting
In the September 28, 2026 Travel and Tourism recommendations, the committee recommended $750 for the 2026 Santa Parade. The application says the parade is set for November 27, 2026 and uses tourism funds to hire Santa and Mrs. Claus, the sleigh, and advertising.
The decision was still a recommendation in the packet, so the main value is a funded community event buying need.
