Grand Marshalls:
“Celebrating the life and contributions of Alan C. Gossom”
This year we have two Grand Marshalls. One will be the family members of long time Haymarket business owner and friend to all, Alan Gossom, who passed away this year.
The second is a little 3 year old boy named Lucas Clark from Haymarket. Lucas was born in May 2008. Four months later he was diagnosed with Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). His family and friends formed the Believe in Lucas Clark Foundation to heighten awareness and raise funds for a cure. More information can be found at
