“The city of Bismarck and Parade organizer Scott Johnson have come up with a plan to make it possible, to hold the Autumnfest Parade,” said Mayor Mike Seminary. “We are very excited to be able to hold the Autumnfest Parade. The personal safety of our citizens and visitors is our first priority,” said Mayor Seminary.
“A group of city officials including City Administrator Bill Wocken, City Attorney Charlie Whitman, Police Chief Dan Donlin and me worked together and came up with a plan to safely hold the Autumnfest Parade,” said Mayor Seminary. Scott Johnson accepted the city’s plan and agreed to cover the cost of having additional law enforcement officers stationed at the railroad crossing on Fifth Street between Main Avenue and Front Street. No viewing of the parade will be allowed at the railroad crossing on the parade route between Main and Front to assure public safety. The parade route itself will remain unchanged. Mr. Johnson will be contacting the parade participants to notify them.
“Let the festivities begin!” said Mayor Seminary.
