Sacramento's 2008 Santa Parade Canceled

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― The economy has claimed another victim.  For the first time in 25 years, Sacramento's Santa Parade has been canceled due lack of funds.

Parade organizer Laurie Hensley announced the cancelation today in a press release.  She says that although the City of Sacramento was able to continue its support, parade organizers couldn't secure other sponsorship funds. 

"We're disappointed, and especially sorry to disappoint the people who've been looking forward to the parade," said Hensley in a statement. "But we want to assure people that we're looking at this as an unfortunate, but necessary, year off – not an ending for the parade, just a one-year break."

Hensley says planning has already begun for next year with an emphasis on creating a stable financial foundation for the organization.
