Why doesn’t the committee sell food on the street after the parade and have a day-long festival?
Many reasons. (1) We don’t have enough volunteers. (2) Unlike church festivals, this is a one-day event. One bad day of weather would mean a total loss on food sales, costing us thousands of dollars. (3) The Greektown Merchants generously support the parade and we prefer to leave the food sales to the experts.
