Grandview Village Retirement and Assisted Living Community in Marysville was selected the winner of the Business Auto/Truck division in this year’s Strawberry Festival Parade.
Program Director Barbara Lester says when the news was announced at a residents meeting, “you could hear the cheers from blocks away, the residents were so thrilled.”
The Grandview van was decorated with beach toys, fishing nets and buoys in tune with the summertime parade theme. Resident Don Taylor cheered the crowd on with shouts of “Yahoo!” to accompany bubbles from a bubble machine run by Emma Bergstrom.
“Grandview Village staff and residents would like to thank Marysville for the warm reception during this year’s parade,” Lester says.
“We are so grateful to be a part of Marysville’s community.”
