[MainstreetManagers] REquest: Insurance ideas

[Natalie Rapp]

For the first time this was an issue for us this year. Insurance for our
parade was more expensive than insurance for our ice rink. I got quotes
from 4 different agencies and the lowest quote waas $3k. I'm honestly
surprised we were able to find something so low. All the other quotes came
in around $5k - $8k. For reference, we used to pay around $1500. I do not
have a good answer for you all, I just wanted to share my experience. I
will be following this email because I assume this will continue to be an
issue this year. Glad to know it wasn't just us having a problem!
