Sponsored by Open Door Networks – the Ashland Mac ISP, Project A’s BISP, Ashland’s Business only ISP, Ashland Unwired, The HotSpot Service in Ashland, AFN, The Ashland Fiber Network, and Apple Computer, the inventor and manufacturer of tools to make dreams reality.
Success!
The weather was perfect, the Parade was wonderful and the technology gods were smiling.
8 Live Streams broadcasting the event live from different vantage points up and down the parade route.
Emails from around the world poured in thanking us and congratulating us on the "Tour de Fourth" as everything went off perfectly.
People used the camera in the park and a cell phone to call family and friends in other parts of the country and told them what URL to go to watch the parade and of course see their friends and family enjoying the event.
It would not have happened if not for the following people.
