Thanks to everyone who participated in the Labor Day Parade in Skaneateles!  The weather was beautiful, although the route was the longest of all of the parades this season.  We hope that our participation spread awareness in the Skaneateles area.

Skaneateles Labor Day Parade

The Skaneateles Labor Day Parade that GiGi's Playhouse will be marching in is on September 2nd. The parade is at 4:00 but we need to meet at the YMCA community center to line up by 3:00. The YMCA is on State Street right before Austin park.  Please wear your t-shirts if you have one already.
