The project is being funded by the parks department allocation of the quarter cent sales tax in- crease passed by voters in 2014. NSP3 had the lowest quote by the three companies at $137.23 over the budget, however Parks Department Supervisor Mike Skelton said he is confident he can use a portion of the equipment re- pair and maintenance budget to cover the small amount. The bid will include all equip- ment and installation costs. There will be steel play struc- ture and 10-foot and eight-foot single post swings.

The parade, as it has done in years past, honored the Golden Grads who graduated 50 years ago in 1966. This year, 75 Golden Grads rode down Solano Street in their own float with the names of the graduates down the side. Three diamond grads, who graduated 75 years ago, also par- ticipated in the parade this year and nine graduates joined the pa- rade from the 1941 class. Corning High School Classes of 1976 and 1991 also had floats in the parade. The Grand Marshal this year was Lee Benson, a Corning school employee from 1977 to 2000. He was active in the wrestling and football teams. Floats representing the theme Arcade Games were decorated by parents and students from each class. This year the class floats were decorated for the games Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers and Pac Man.
