    <p>Thank you to all who setup and participated in the parade of
      emergency vehicles on Saturday.  Between social media and emails
      like the one below, the community thoroughly enjoyed a few moments
      of fun.  Strong work as always.</p>

                                                          enjoyed the

                                                          emergency
                                                          vehicles this
                                                          afternoon and
                                                          we were more
                                                          than happy to
                                                          wave and give
                                                          a "thumbs up"
                                                          to the people
                                                          in those
                                                          vehicles. I
                                                          have lived in
                                                          Holden almost
                                                          all of my life
                                                          and I can't
                                                          tell you how
                                                          happy I am
                                                          that we live
                                                          in such a safe
                                                          and well
                                                          maintained
                                                          town. We have
                                                          had a couple
                                                          emergencies
                                                          over the years
                                                          and it's
                                                          literally just
                                                          a matter of
                                                          minutes before
                                                          help is there.
                                                          I know these
                                                          are difficult
                                                          times for all
                                                          of us, but
                                                          every one of
                                                          you do so much
                                                          more than I
                                                          could ever ask
                                                          of anyone and
                                                          for that I am
