As she waited for her fellow Redwood Happiness Initiative members to show up, Denise Doyle-Schnacker reflected on the first major community event since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Doyle-Schnacker and her daughter Kami Arnett had their Fourth of July parade float at H and 10th streets and were watching others take their places.
“This is the year I would like to watch (the parade),” Doyle-Schnacker said. “But I know people are counting on us to do it, it’s almost like a community service.”
