I really wanted to know the participants line up to know who was in the parade as well as when the bands would be coming. It would be nice to have that as well as an actual map of route for us out of town guests
Hi Gail. I agree it is nice to know details. Our understanding is that the Hopkins Raspberry Festival Board is a volunteer-run organization. Despite the fact that these volunteers work year round to put on this festival, I’m sure pulling together and releasing a list of parade participants would be labor intensive and require a volunteer willing to create it. However, it never hurts to ask. If you want to make a suggestion, volunteer to help create a list, or even serve on the board, you can contact them by calling 952-931-0878 or emailing [email protected].
