Girl Power: A look at Community Parade organizing partner The Grove City Girls Club<br />
For 30 years the Arts in the Alley Community<br />
Parade signals the beginning of the<br />
Arts in the Alley Festival.<br />
It has been one of the many highlights of<br />
the festival with thousands gathering in the<br />
anticipation of witnessing antique cars,<br />
handmade floats, local bands, community<br />
leaders and of course…candy.<br />
In partnership with the Grove City Area<br />
Chamber of Commerce, the Grove City Girls<br />
Club oversees all operations of the parade to<br />
ensure that this event feature runs<br />
smoothly. The Grove City Girls Club organizers<br />
work diligently to manage over 125<br />
unique parade entries and countless volunteers.<br />
Over the years the Community Parade<br />
has become one of the most attended events<br />
of the entire year. The parade is one of the<br />
largest fundraisers for the Girls Club, which<br />
funds their mission of assisting families in<br />
need.<br />
Their focus is unique in the fact that they<br />

only assist families and children who don’t<br />
qualify for government assistance, these<br />
working-class families often need help with<br />
the “special” things in life, things like senior<br />
pictures, prom dresses, class trips and other<br />
occasions that are meaningful to a child.<br />
The ladies of this organization bring<br />
great peace to the families that they assist<br />
by allowing them to provide and experience<br />
special things that are outside of just the<br />
normal necessities (although they do help<br />
with some of those too), they offer those they<br />
serve with the ability to gain the help they<br />
need to improve their quality of life.<br />
The Arts in the Alley parade is a great<br />
joint effort for both GCACC and the Girls<br />
Club promoting both organizations’ greater<br />
goal to make the Grove City community the<br />
best community to live and work in central<br />
Ohio.<br />
The parade starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday<br />
at the corner of <strong>Southwest</strong> Boulevard<br />
and Broadway.<br />
