"Working with the Oakland Holiday Parade was a first-class experience. Their professionalism and organization showed in every way and they made it extremely easy for us to participate as well as gave us a great program to deliver to our audiences. The parade was fun, creative, and exciting. We're looking forward to doing it again this year."
Scott Walton Executive Director, Communications KQED - Northern California Public Broadcasting
"It was a pleasure to be part of this year's America's Children's Holiday Parade with Miss Rosa, PBS KIDS host, as Honorary Grand Marshal. The team working on the parade was incredibly organized and a joy to work with from day one. The families attending the parade and the happiness on their faces was priceless. Thanks for including PBS KIDS in the parade."
