Community Contribution
For many years, Autumn on Parade has donated to a wide variety of local organizations and civil services.
The AOP Committee believes it to be our civic duty to give back to the people and organizations in our community who so selflessly serve those in need.
2022
We are grateful for the ongoing support of Habitat for Humanity, whose volunteer staff cheerfully donate their time throughout the festival weekend, patrolling parking, lots, assisting the disabled, and securing intersections.
With the spirit of sustainability in mind, a donation to purchase a water bottle filler fountain was made to Village of Progress.
The devastation that the Pegasus folks suffered in 2022 is a challenging scenario, and our Committee hopes this contribution will help replace components not covered by insurance.

Generous, kind, and community minded,
Dick Little made an impact on so many.
To honor and celebrate him, Autumn on Parade made a donation to the Oregon VFW Post 8739
on Dick’s behalf.
Dave Stenger was an avid outdoors man with a background in forestry. As a long time advocate of Autumn on Parade, our Committee found it fitting to honor Dave with a tree planted on the lawn of the Ogle County Courthouse.
