Volunteers sought to work on Burbank on Parade floats

The Burbank on Parade committee is seeking volunteers to help construct parade floats in preparation for the annual community celebration on April 6.

Creative Director Wayne Poirier is looking for painters, carpenters and artists to give their time.

Opportunities to volunteer are twice a week -- from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays now until parade day at the Burbank Tournament of Roses Float Barn under the Olive Avenue bridge.

“We need creative people and people who can follow instructions,” Poirier said. “It’s a lot of fun and a chance to use your imagination!”

To volunteer, contact Poirier at (818) 238-5175.

The parade, with the theme “Let’s Go to the Movies!,” will begin at 11 a.m. on April 6.

It will travel east on Olive Avenue from Keystone to Lomita streets and end at Izay Park.
