Re: Closing Streets
The dates for this year's Gateway to the West are June 7 -10. The Merriam Carnival will be in
town from Wednesday (set up) -- late Sunday Evening (take down). We would like to continue
to have the carnival located in the location it has been for the past many years.
The Annual Car Show and Craft Show is also being planned around the courthouse again this
year, on Saturday June 9. This would involve closing Colfax Street between 15 and 17 and
16 between South and Colfax from 7:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m.
Also, in conjunction with Gateway to the West on June 9th, the Blair Area Chamber of
Commerce is requesting that the streets along the suggested parade route be closed as in the past
for the 1:00 p.m. parade. The parade route will remain the same as last year. This route starts at
South School (16 and Butler) and goes up 16 Street to South, over to 15 then to Washington
Street, over to 18 Street, down to South Street, over to 17 then ending at 17 and Butler
Street.
Thank you for your continuing assistance and your consideration of these requests!

RE: Homecoming Parade
I am writing this letter to ask permission for Blair High School to hold its annual
Homecoming Parade on Friday, October 5, at approximately 2:15 P.M.
The route we would like to take would be:
High School to Park Street West to 16th Street,
South on 16th Street to Washington,
West on Washington to 18th Street,
South to Lincoln and
back East to the intersection of 16th and Lincoln.
At this point we would like to hold a community pep rally from approximately 2:45 P.M.
to 3:00 P.M. I am sure we would need a police escort and would be most happy to take
care of any financial obligations this entails.
I appreciate your consideration of this request and hope we will once again, as in the past,
be able to hold this parade /pep rally. I will be awaiting your reply.
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Anderson
