Hello all,
We were able to solidify some of the planning for the parade at the board meeting last evening.
One of our great vendors, PTuning, has been kind enough to allow us to meet and stage vehicles that are not in the parade in their parking lot. They will have coffee and cookies available at beginning at 0730.
We will be moving to the staging area at 0750, it is less than 2 miles. We must be in the staging area NLT 0830.
We are still looking for a few walkers if anyone is interested in handing out candy and crackers. Also there is still an available spot if someone would like to show off their MINI. Come enjoy the morning with us.
The parade begins at 10:00 and we are 23rd group to roll out (first quarter) so we should be done before noon.
The parade ends only ¾ of a mile from PTuning, we will pick up walkers and return to the PTuning parking lot to unload.
I will be posting an event to help prepare car decorations and assembly crackers on 30 Nov, additional information will be in that thread.
Please feel free to post any questions on this thread, or feel free to PM or email me directly.
Finally I need to send a description of our theme “Cracking Good Time”, below is what I have put together. I am not an English major as those of you that have read my posts can attest. Please read it over and mock any errors or if you have any rewording please let me know. I plan to submit the final draft on Wednesday.
“Much like the uniquely British MINI, the Christmas cracker has been a staple of the Christmas Holiday in Britain. Developed in the Victorian area by Tom Smith as a way to package his bon-bons, they have evolved to today’s version, which contain several key components represented by the MINIs before you.”
