“It’s incredible what people feel about the parade in Detroit,” said Parade Company President and CEO Tony Michael. “We pulled off the virtual parade with WDIV during COVID, and (in) the letters and notes, people said, ‘You made our day, you made our month, you made our holiday because you found a way to bring it to us.’“
