Sprinklers on overtime?? Why would you be so hostile to someone if they weren't infringing on your property? Soften your heart and treat people with a little more respect and kindness. I've seen the chairs, blankets, etc... and they are not hurting anyone; actually i think it's kind of cool. I'm glad to see that there are so many people passionate about the parade.

Maybe you should let the people enjoy a cold one while there watching the parade and maybe people would not be so concerned about there seats.

I doudt anybody is losing sleep over it just seems kind of lame. If you want a good spot to watch the parade show up early instead of saving your seat like a middle school kid at the lunch table.

I think it's ridiculous that people have such a problem with putting out blankets for the parade. If you are so concerned about getting a spot, then go put a blanket out for yourself. This has been tradition for years in this town and it lasts a grand total of one week out of an entire year. There are so many other pressing matters to lose sleep over.

We went down 2nd today and there was a blanket placed and taped off areas already! SO pathetic!! I swear this is the only town if you do not put something out a week in advance you are out of luck from anywhere decent. It makes 2nd street look like a dump! I think this should be held off until at least the day of the parade or even if that is pushing it fine chance it later that night. But get a life people. Be like everyone else and go looking that day not a whole week early!

I really like the idea of picking a theme and staying wtih it--Kinnic Days, Falls in Bloom, --I'm sure there are many more creative ideas. The Chamber is willing to listen to any ideas. Go for it!

Could someone please explain to me why River Falls doesn't have a 3rd and 4th event, but instead does it the week after? Is it because most people go elsewhere and more people are here for the next weekend? I'd honestly like to know, no one i asked seems to know for sure.
