Meet your 2026 Grand Marshal

Kristina “Kris” Evans

Owner of East To West Embroidery & Design, Inc

For over three decades I have been proud to lead a business built on integrity, dedication, and a deep commitment to the people we serve. What began as a small local venture has grown into a trusted cornerstone of our community – not just
because of the products and services we provide, but because of the relationships we’ve built along the way.

Our mission has always been simple: to make a positive difference. Over the past 30 years, we’ve supported the Manassas St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the Veterans Parade, the Greater Manassas Christmas Parade, and local Schools. We’ve also sponsored youth programs, partnered with nonprofits, and created opportunities for local employment. We’ve been there for community events, fundraisers, and moments of need – because we believe that success is measured not only in business growth, but in the well-being of the community we call home.

I am deeply grateful for the trust and loyalty our neighbors have shown us over the years. As we look to the future, our promise remains the same: to serve with heart, give back generously, and continue building a stronger, more connected community for generations to come.
