I think that each of the clubs that are oriented towards parades (Village Twirlers, bands, etc.) should elect one member to serve on a parade committee to investigate the feasibility of conducting future parades that could be organized by these clubs and sanctioned by the city/county.
plus they could contact retailer's about sponsorships. TV doesn't have to be a democracy. Pay the money for the permit and have a parade. Just because the developer chooses not to sponsor doesn't mean the parade can't go on. Public streets belong to everyone, that's why they're public
