Waste Management Joins Hit Parade
 |
Once again, we rolled out our miniature kid-sized WM truck to lead the 2006 Chino Youth Holiday Parade & Fair, an annual event that we’ve been sponsoring for more than five years running. In celebrating Chino’s commitment to kids, we had the honor of following the color guard at the start of the parade, leading the way for almost 100 parade entrants, City Council members, their families and other city officials.
WM employees participated in the parade along with their kids, waving and walking alongside our miniature truck. Some folks hopped inside the truck to wave to the crowd from behind the wheel. Others came with pets in costumes – always a crowd-pleaser among kids of any age. Hundreds of proud family, neighbors and friends came out to watch and cheer.
We kicked off the day at the pancake breakfast fundraiser for the Senior Center before heading out to join the equestrian groups and colorful themed floats showcasing youth sports and the campaign for a Healthy Chino. The parade wound its way to City Hall, where the Fair began: WM folks joined parade-goers in celebrating the City of Chino and its kids with food, games, carnival rides, crafts, petting zoo, along with dance performances and karate demonstrations by students.
