Dear Editor Congratulations to everyone who put so much time into putting together the Parade this year. There was such a variety of participants and everyone watching seemed to be enjoying themselves. It brings the small town feeling back to Speedway and brings the town together at a time when bonding together is much needed. I do wish the route could have gone down Georgetown Rd since we aren't sure if the road will be there in the future. I feel the town manager made a grave error when not permitting this to be done. Indianapolis did not have preliminary problems with the route, but would not approve it since the town manager was in opposition. I spoke with some of the Mobile Park Residents who had seen earlier route maps and were standing on Georgetown Rd waiting for "the parade that never came". Thank you Barbara Lawrence. Your pride and dedication to the town you don't live in is coming through loud and clear. I was also surprised that the Speedway Redevelopment Commission and some of the Town Council Members were not present. This shows me that your interest may only be self serving and not really for the people of Speedway. How can a town be redeveloped for the people when the people behind the redevelopment aren't involved in the activities of the town? I wonder if the Chamber of Commerce President Connie Harris, (wife of SRC Executive Director Scott Harris) had put the parade on the town government would have been more involved? Well, thanks again to Susan Luebbert, Linda Karn, Connie Norton and everyone else who volunteered their time to put smiles on the faces of the people of Speedway! Ms. Myers
