ERA Team VP invites frontline workers to march in the Mardi Gras Parade
ELLICOTTVILLE - It is one of the most popular events of winter. Crossing through the Village of Ellicottville, this event challenges both locals and visitors to bring out their creativity in preparation for the biggest party of ski season. This is all about themes, planning costumes and the eventual march through Ellicottville’s business district, while spectators line the streets, cheering for their favorites.
Following a two-year shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ellicottville’s Mardi Gras Parade is back on the schedule, March 12th at 6:30pm. Organizers are anticipating a record turnout noting many have expressed how much they’ve missed this iconic parade.
Ellicottville's ERA Team VP Broker Bill Soffel and team are proud to announce the theme for their float this year is: "Thank you Hometown Heroes" in an effort to express gratitude to the frontline workers who kept people safe throughout the pandemic. The Ellicottville Team will be carrying a large "Thank You" card for parade-goers to sign before and after the parade.
“We’re incredibly excited to celebrate Mardi Gras in Ellicottville this year, after two years off,” said Soffel. “Our team couldn’t think of a better way to participate in this year’s parade than by expressing our thanks to those who kept us safe throughout the pandemic. We’re also looking forward to welcoming the public to our office following the parade!”
ERA Team VP is inviting local frontline workers, caregivers, firefighters, EMS personnel and medical staff from all over the area to join them in the parade this year, as they salute YOU for getting us through one of the most trying times in American history.
“Please join us for our parade, walk with us and enjoy all Ellicottville has to offer, followed by a party in our office immediately following the parade,” said Soffel. “We'll have some special surprises, refreshments, and we encourage you to come in your professional attire if you wish!”
Registered participants will gather in the parking lot at Katy’s Café before 6:00pm and will march down Ellicottville’s main street, promptly at 6:30pm, ending at the Ellicottville Gazebo. If you’re a frontline worker and would like to walk with the ERA team, please contact Kaysie Griffith at kaysie.griffith@teamvp.com or call 716-699-4800.
