The Chamber is delighted to welcome MARS Drinks, a division<br />

of Mars, Inc., as title sponsor for the third year.<br />

“The Chamber of Commerce of Greater West Chester is<br />

proud to partner with MARS Drinks on this project,” says GWCC<br />

president Katie Doherty. “Their continued title sponsorship of this<br />

much-loved parade demonstrates their support not only of the<br />

chamber but of the entire West Chester community.”<br />

“Mars Drinks is excited about our continued sponsorship of the


MARS Drinks <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> Parade,” says Brian Miller,<br />

executive vice president of sales and marketing for Mars Drinks<br />

North America. “This is a great opportunity for us to give back to<br />

the community through one of the premier events in the area.<br />

Mars Drinks and our family of offi ce beverage brands—Alterra<br />

Coffee Roasters, the Bright Tea Company, Flavia and Dove—<br />

will continue to participate in the local events that shape our<br />

community. We look forward to enjoying the festivities with<br />

everyone during the event.”<br />

Prior to the parade, many businesses and organizations<br />

throughout downtown will host holiday open houses, featuring<br />

refreshments and seasonal entertainment. At 6:30 p.m., the third<br />

annual Jingle Elf Run kicks off at Market and<br />

High streets with a 2-mile run and a<br />

1-mile walk.<br />

With 6abc Action News’ Adam Joseph (left)<br />

and 6abc reporter Cathy Gandolfo serving as<br />

masters of ceremony, the parade promises<br />

a mix of traditional and new elements. A host<br />

of local schools, businesses, volunteer fi re<br />

companies and service organizations will be<br />

represented among the many marching bands,<br />

fl oats and antique vehicles that have become<br />

a mainstay of <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong>.<br />

Spectators of all ages will be entertained<br />

by fi rst-time participant Elizabeth Toal, a senior<br />

at West Chester University and the featured vocal performer at this<br />

year’s parade, and returning favorites Caporales San Simon Bolivian<br />

Dancers and the Fraternidad Cultural Pachamama Bolivian Dancers.<br />

Thanks to the efforts of parade producer Todd Marcocci—president<br />

of Under the Sun Productions, Inc., in West Chester—attendees<br />

also will enjoy a special salute to our armed forces featuring the<br />

Silver Dolphins, the Chester County Marine Corps League Color<br />

Guard and the Valley Forge Military Academy Music Band, just to<br />

name a few.<br />

Starting at New and Market streets, this year’s parade will wind<br />

its way through the historic borough of West Chester and travel<br />

north on New Street, east on Gay Street, south on Matlack Street,<br />

west on Market Street and through to New Street without<br />

stopping at the old Chester County Courthouse. With last year’s<br />

crowd estimated at 25,000, the longer route will provide more<br />

opportunities for front-row viewing.<br />

A complete list of <strong>Old</strong>-Time <strong>Christmas</strong> events will be<br />

posted online in mid-November at greaterwestchester.com.<br />

About the<br />

Title Sponsor<br />

Mars Drinks delivers the<br />

best tasting, hassle-free<br />

drinks you’ll ever get at<br />

work. They source meaningful<br />

brands that provide<br />

choice for their single-serve<br />

coffee, tea and chocolate<br />

beverages, sealing the<br />

freshest ingredients into<br />

unique Flavia® freshpacks.<br />

And with the Fresh<br />

Release system, their<br />

brewers serve the perfect<br />

drink, every time, helping to<br />

keep your workplace<br />

running smoothly.<br />

Mars Drinks carefully<br />

selects brands that provide the right choices for<br />

workplace consumers. Alterra Coffee Roasters<br />

offers good-quality coffee you can feel good about<br />

drinking. The Bright Tea Co. makes perfectly<br />

balanced, full-fl avored teas that allow you to pause<br />

and reset without slowing down. And with Dove®<br />

hot chocolate, every cup delivers silky, smooth<br />

delicious chocolate indulgence.<br />

Dove’s unique freshpack design preserves<br />

and protects quality ingredients, so every drink is<br />

brewed perfectly, directly from pack to cup,<br />

ensuring that you only taste the beverage you<br />

chose. Each freshpack is full of fresh ground<br />

coffee, real leaf<br />

teas or chocolate.<br />

The unique<br />

two-pack<br />

technology<br />

allows you to<br />

create more than 25 combinations, from fantastic<br />

cappuccinos, lattes and mochaccinos to espressostyle<br />

drinks. Enjoy the convenient reliability of<br />

simple, clean and consistent brewers—all while<br />

delivering improved productivity and engagement<br />

concerned about their impact on people and the<br />

and are concentrating on areas that have the<br />

highest impact for their business and their<br />

customers: reducing energy, reducing waste<br />

and supporting communities from which they<br />

source ingredients.<br />

Flavia® brewers are designed with energy<br />

effi ciency in mind. Through a range of innovations,<br />

Mars Drinks has signifi cantly reduced the energy<br />

needed to make a cup of coffee. Their Creation400<br />

brewer for large offi ces uses 60 percent less energy<br />

than other single-serve brew systems in the workplace,<br />

and their Creation200 for mid-size offi ces uses<br />

about 54 percent less energy than the competition.<br />

Every year in December, the Greater West Chester Chamber of<br />

Commerce hosts its holiday toy-drive breakfast. New unwrapped<br />

items donated by Chamber members and community leaders<br />

are given to nonprofi t organizations that work with families and<br />

individuals in our community.<br />

This year, the Chamber is proud to announce a major<br />

expansion of the program. In partnership with WSFS Bank, the<br />

2011 <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> Toy Drive will collect toys starting<br />

Nov. 1-Dec. 3 at the following WSFS Bank branch locations:<br />

West Chester, Edgemont, Media, Longwood and Glen Mills<br />

(Participating branch addresses can be found below. For hours,<br />

visit wsfsbank.com/locator.aspx.)<br />

Volunteers and staff from WSFS<br />

Bank will also be on hand Dec. 2 at the<br />

Mars Drinks <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong><br />

Parade to collect new unwrapped toys.<br />

Items will be collected along the<br />

parade route and at the WSFS Bank toy<br />

drop-off table located on High Street<br />

between Market and Gay streets.<br />

“WSFS Bank is honored to support<br />

the <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> Toy Drive in West Chester,” says<br />

David H. Hargarten, senior vice president and marketing director<br />

at WSFS Bank. “At WSFS, we take great pride in giving back to our<br />

communities and are excited to host toy drop-offs throughout our<br />

Pennsylvania branches to play a role in bringing holiday cheer to<br />

local children in need.”<br />

Toys collected through the 2011 WSFS <strong>Old</strong> <strong>Fashioned</strong><br />

<strong>Christmas</strong> Toy Drive will go to the following organizations:<br />

• The ARC of Chester County. For more than 59 years,<br />

The Arc of Chester County has enjoyed a reputation as a<br />

premier provider of programs and services for people with<br />

disabilities in Chester County. The Arc has been at the forefront<br />

of public policy, fi ghting for the rights of individuals with<br />

Wells Fargo wants to be the best bank in Pennsylvania, with all the<br />

advantages of a great coast-to-coast bank. One of the ways that<br />

they demonstrate their local commitment is through community<br />

involvement. Providing support to their communities and helping them<br />

succeed has been part of the company culture since Wells Fargo was<br />

founded in 1852. They continue that tradition today as a proud sponsor of The MARS<br />

Drinks <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> Parade.<br />

Community involvement is one of Wells Fargo’s core values. As a community–<br />

based organization, they believe they have a responsibility to promote economic<br />

prosperity and a better quality of life for everyone in the communities they serve.<br />

There has never been a thriving bank in a struggling community.<br />

At Wells Fargo, the goal is to help all customers succeed fi nancially. That means<br />

extending credit to help businesses grow, providing loans that help people buy<br />

homes and automobiles, and helping customers fi nd the best way to save for their<br />

children’s education or their retirement. It means working to help customers with<br />

fi nancial hardships stay in their homes and providing a fi nancial education to<br />

children and adults to help them achieve their goals.<br />

And it means participating in the celebrations and traditions that make the<br />

communities special—like this <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> Parade.<br />

w6 november 2011 l www.mainlinetoday.com<br />

• Friends Association for the Care and Protection of Children.<br />

Friends Association is committed to helping homeless or<br />

near-homeless families stabilize their lives and fi nd or maintain<br />

permanent housing. Through the Friends shelter and homeless<br />

prevention programs, it addresses a wide range of needs,<br />

focusing on families with children, who are the unintended<br />

victims of homelessness. Donations can include educational<br />

toys like puzzles, arts-and-crafts sets, and activity books,<br />

plus gift cards to Kmart, Walmart and Target for older children.<br />

All donations will help to put a smile on the face of a child<br />

who may otherwise not receive anything. So reach deep into your<br />

heart and stop by a participating WSFS Bank Branch with a toy.<br />

Or bring your donation to the <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> Parade.<br />

Together, we can make a difference!<br />

are on the chopping block, it’s great<br />

to have so many marching bands from<br />

the region come to West Chester to<br />

display their talents and pride as<br />

they make every effort to maintain<br />

Safe Harbor Homeless Shelter to Benefi t from 2011 Jingle Elf Run<br />

At Safe Harbor of Chester County, single men and<br />

women have a safe, warm place to stay—one with<br />

welcoming surroundings, hot showers, laundry<br />

facilities and nourishing meals.<br />

This year, the Greater West Chester Chamber of<br />

Commerce has selected Safe Harbor to receive the<br />

proceeds of its third annual Jingle Elf Run to be held<br />

immediately before the MARS Drinks <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong><br />

<strong>Christmas</strong> Parade.<br />

Established in 1995, Safe Harbor completed<br />

a major expansion in 2010,<br />

doubling the size of the shelter to<br />

accommodate 20 men and 20 women.<br />

Currently, it’s the only option in<br />

Chester County with beds for single,<br />

homeless women. Anyone over<br />

18 is welcome to stay up to four<br />

months as they work to develop a plan to gain back<br />

their independence.<br />

Safe Harbor works with many area agencies to<br />

fi nd permanent housing and jobs, address medical<br />

or addiction issues, and more. It exists thanks to<br />

the thousands of volunteer hours, the tens of<br />

thousands of donated meals, and the incredible<br />

generosity of people, businesses, faith communities<br />

and schools. For more information, visit<br />

A Message from the Parade Producers … Hello and Happy Holidays!<br />

Under the Sun Productions’<br />

Todd Marcocci<br />

Under the Sun Productions took over<br />

as producers of the West Chester<br />

<strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> Parade in 2006<br />

as a labor of love. We feel strongly that<br />

it’s important for all businesses in the<br />

community to give back to the residents<br />

of the region during the holiday season,<br />

so we’re doing our part.<br />

This year’s parade will be the best<br />

ever. Since December 2010, we’ve been<br />

working with all of this year’s parade<br />

participants to ensure a creative and<br />

aesthetically tight production. Such<br />

extensive preparation is unheard of in a hometown parade, but<br />

ours has grown so much that visitors come from all over the East<br />

Coast to watch. So we’re giving everyone a big-city parade in our<br />

little borough.<br />

This new “art direction” initiative makes certain that this year’s<br />

parade serves as a moving stage show of the highest quality. We<br />

know you’ll walk away feeling overwhelmed and thrust headlong<br />

into the spirit of the holiday season. Hats off to the parade<br />

participants for working with us on this initiative.<br />

At Under the Sun, we’ve been in the business of producing<br />

professional parades for almost two decades around the nation. Yet<br />

we still fi nd it amazing that, over the last six years, we’ve had the<br />

following places represented in the West Chester <strong>Old</strong>-<strong>Fashioned</strong><br />

<strong>Christmas</strong> Parade: Texas, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey,<br />

Series<br />
