Chico Parade of Lights

As the Past President and a current Board Member of the the Chico Parade of Lights I like to thank the entire team of board members, volunteers, entries, judges, celebrities, sponsors and supporters of this event who made our 30th anniversary an AMAZING success again! Our goal as a team has been to provide Chico with its biggest event of the year in downtown celebrating each other’s presence in our community. You made it possible yet again. The tireless work of the board m...embers for the past 6-9 months is certainly the shining example of what our community can look like when we all get together as a community team. Here are a few pics of the event. Stay tuned for our professional photos of the event soon at www.chicoparadeoflights.com! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Grandmaster Azad CPL Board member
