Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 9:31 am Post subject: Norco Christmas Parade December 5 - Update info |
|
|
We've been invited to march in the Norco Christmas Parade in St. Charles Parish on Sunday, December 5 (I know this is the same day as the RSR Toy Distribution, but perhaps we can divide and conquer).
The route is about 2 miles long, and the parade organizers will feed us too.
The parade starts at 2 pm, and goes to about 4 pm. We would need to arrive around 12:30 (awaiting exact address).
There is normally a parade fee, but it has been waived for us because the committee wants walking groups.
We will meet at 35 Apple Street in Norco. If you're coming from Baton Rouge, take I-10 east to exit 209 (2nd LaPlace Exit) and head to Airline Highway. From there, take a left. Apple Street will be the first light after you cross the Bonnet Carre Spillway (about 10 miles). Turn right; 35 Apple Street will be about a block from River Road. If you're coming from Jefferson Parish, take I-10 West to Exit 220 (I-310). Exit 310 at Airline Hwy South and proceed to Norco. Turn left on Apple (past the refineries, right before you hit the Spillway).
We can start arriving at 11:00 (I'll be there a bit after noon). Santa will arrive at about 1:40, and the parade will start by 2:00.
Sign-up:
Gary - Vader or TI
Bill - TI
Ken - Biker Scout or Mando
Dave L. - Biker Scout or Royal Guard
Brian H. - Officer
Monoman - TK
Wranglers
Joyce
Theresa (Wrangler/Pilot)

It's on River Road and Apple in Norco (you would probably take I-10 to 209 - the 2nd LaPlace exit - and head down to Airline. From there, take a left on Airline and then turn right on Apple right after the Spillway).
The guy in charge of the parade is also my principal; as soon as they have everything set, he'll pass it on to me.

It will probably be late morning/early afternoon.
The parade committee is finalizing details soon. As soon as I get them I'll post them.

The theme is Heaux, Heaux, Heaux Dat: Black & Gold Christmas.
The parade fee has been waived for us, as the organizers want to get more walking groups involved.

I will either be a Biker Scout or Royal Guard depending on who wears what.

We could have a truck or other vehicle as support.

I'll ask Ken if I can drive "the van". He might say yes if ,
I can finish my part of his Biker Scout.

Is there a sign or banner available that we can use for this?
Also, this will be filmed and broadcast. The announcer/commentator is a co-worker. Is there a set script I can give him? Or should I write a quick piece (501st/Bast Alpha - Rebel Legion and Dagobah Base are invited too :) - Worldwide group, notable for charity efforts, etc. etc?
