Organizer steps down from beloved WinterFest Parade tradition

During a recent government meeting, Donna Wilson announced her resignation from organizing the Marsville WinterFest Parade after nine years of service. Citing personal reasons for her decision, Wilson expressed hope that the council would find a successor to continue the tradition, which was originally initiated by Sally Upper and Lily Piscopo.

Wilson detailed her journey with the parade, explaining that she stepped in to help when previous organizer Robin Reitmeier faced family challenges. She emphasized the importance of the event to the community and provided the council with a comprehensive folder containing essential information, including a list of invitees, business contacts, and promotional materials related to the parade and its associated activities.

As the council considers Wilson's departure, the future of the WinterFest Parade remains uncertain, highlighting the need for community engagement to ensure the event's continuation.
