MainX24 Parade-December 3rd 11am

« on: October 27, 2011, 12:45:58 PM »
I know we received an email from Roger Halligan requesting that we send him contact info so we can get signed up for the parade again. The parade is supposed to be a morning parade (~11ish if I recall). We have been asked by the owners of Merchants on Main at 607 Main St, if we would like to show up there after the parade and do a small cruise in. They remembered seeing the volkswagens last year and wanted to host us. They are offering food (hopefully a bbq rib caterer they are talking with) and other activities that are still being ironed out.

The MainX24 event was a lot of fun last year, despite the sprinkling we received. Here is more info on what else goes on with the event: http://www.facebook.com/mainx24?sk=info

Sounds good, that's really nice of them to give us a place to park our cars. I for one will be downtown all day for mainx24 so it'll be cool to not have to move my car afterwards.

Are we allowed to throw candy?

I don't know, but 99% of all parades prohibit candy throwing because it encourages kids to run into the street into the moving vehicles. I'm going to guess no, but I will check. If I am wrong, I will post it back up.

11. HANDOUTS.  Candy and other hand outs may be passed out but are not to be thrown to parade viewers.

By next club meeting we need to get a count of vehicles/participants. If you can't make it to the meeting, just reply here so you will be counted.

Actually I'll be in Texas this weekend. But I'll still get the application in to Roger before the deadline once we get the head count.

I am planning on being in the parade, and then there will be a zombie candi and collective clothing fashion show feathering john water's inspired clothing from cry baby and hair spray at 4 pm at the choo choo court yard,  they will also have some rat rods and 50's cars in the parking lot to take some pictures with the models

Don't forget --- we plan to meet up at the Sportsman's Warehouse parking lot (Lee Hwy & 153) this Saturday morning about 9.  We will pull out at 9:30 to ride down together to be in place for the parade at 10:00.   ;)
