Wayne Industries Marshal Horse Parade 
November  5, 2011 

On Saturday, November 19 at 7:00 pm Wayne Industries/Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities will grand marshal the Hometown Holiday Horse Parade into downtown Greenville. The selection of the group came very easily as approximately 20 individuals from Wayne Industries along with supervisor Mark Middlecoff logged 2,400 volunteer hours for Main Street Greenville in just 6 months!  Each Thursday from mid April to mid October the group, wearing their matching blue t-shirts, tended to flower beds, mulch, weed removal and trash pick up in downtown.  “We feel their effort is something worth celebrating. These individuals were dedicated to their work and really contributed to beautifying downtown this summer,” stated Amber Schmerge, Main Street Greenville Executive Director. 

Wayne Industries/Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities focus is to provide services to individuals that enable them to live, work and play as productive and contributing members of the community. 

In addition to vocational training/opportunities, individuals have an array of services to choose from as they pertain to community volunteering, social and leisure activities and community participation. Their time spent in downtown Greenville reflects true leaders in shaping our downtown’s sense of place, stories and future.  It’s because of their efforts that Greenville can proudly reflect a downtown that matters. 

The 8th annual parade, sponsored by Wayne Healthcare and Greenville Federal, is presented by Main Street Greenville.  Each year Main Street Greenville provides programs which make our community and downtown district a better place to live, work , shop and enjoy for ourselves, families and friends.   The Hometown Holiday Horse Parade is a huge part of community pride and reflects the quality of life provided in Greenville with an estimated 8, 000 people attending each year. With nearly 55 lighted hitches and riders making up the parade, it is a true festive celebration of the holiday season in Darke County.  To learn more about Main Street Greenville and the parade route, please visit www.DowntownGreenville.org
