Rectifying omitted kudos
By The Bakersfield Californian
On behalf of the Bakersfield Christmas Parade Committee, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the 2012 Dignity Health Christmas Parade. Unfortunately, in our thank you to the community, two entities were inadvertently left off our long list of sponsors and supporters. We also are very grateful to The Bakersfield Californian and the Corvettes of Bakersfield car club for their continuing support of the parade.
We could not have staged such a terrific event without the assistance of the entire local business and service community. Please plan to be with us again on Dec. 5, 2013.
