2008 Trout Parade
Creation Awards

Thanks to a generous grant from the Dry Goods Arts Association, four groups recently won Creation Awards of $100 - $250 for their winning float and parading ideas, including: WJFF Radio Catskill, Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, For Faith Parish, and the Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue. They’ll add their creative flair to the fantastic parade lineup, including a bevy of Basset hounds dressed as trout!
