PARKING
We suggest parking in the Market Street Garage as parking in the Piedmont CASA neighborhood can be challenging - and with so may folks joining the parade, it's going to be even harder! Plus the garage is close to CitySpace, so you won't have far to go when the parade ends.

After the parade, two bluebird artworks will be sold in a live auction: Cynthia Burke and John Bordon Evans. Another 25 will be sold in a silent auction. Scores of bluebird art will be available as gifts with donations.
Bluebird art has been on display around town, but you can also see it on the web.
Any funds raised will go toward helping children in foster care by training and supporting foster care families, and by giving foster children a voice in court through the advocacy work of Piedmont CASA Volunteers. Funds will be equally divided between Piedmont CASA and the Foster Care Adoption Awareness Coalition (FCAAC).
Because every foster child needs a bluebird
