Approximately 1,000 people turned out to watch the filming of the "Save Our Lady" parade which was held on Sunday, November 25th.

Residents of Pleasanton, a town that loves a parade, had the opportunity to experience the feel of a "Hollywood" production as cameras, crew and parade action proceeded down Main Street. The pace was slow, to catch the details and sounds of the parade and spectator reactions.

Because of sizeable donations to the Statue of Liberty Restoration Fund through the Community’s support of the Soroptimist’s "Stepping Out for Freedom" fundraiser, and other community activities, Pleasanton was selected over other towns to host the parade. The films producers wanted to illustrate the efforts of small communities throughout the nation to "Save Miss Liberty".

The film, produced by Gateway Productions of New York will be sold to local community television stations for viewing by their audiences.

Funds raised through the sale of this production will go toward the Statue of Liberty Restoration Fund.
