I am in the process of talking with Hanover and York boroughs about parades.
I am posting this to see who would like to participate in any upcoming parades. I am looking into St. Pattys Day, Halloween and Memorial Day parades. Anyone that has any suggestions please let me know.
The St. Pattys Day parade is $25 to register and needs to be done by Feb 15. We have to have an Irish theme of course. If anyone wants to do this let me know. The parade is on Sat march 12 2011 and we would need to be there by 1130am.
Please any thoughts or suggestions ...............
-
i would be willing to do it sounds like fun

Sat. March 12 is the Downtown York St. Patty's parade, in case anyone is wondering.
Decorated Jeeps could be cool. Or, someone can get a leprechaun suit and ride in a topless Wrangler and wave to the kiddies...lol. Hmm, Chris B. has a nice GREEN Jeep!
Shame that we can't throw incendiary devices, though. That takes a bit of the fun out of it.

I love a parade!!

Yeah that's the date that is in my original post if you read it

Here is a letter I got today.....who is still in for this parade? I am going to make up some candy bags...
Good morning. This is just a brief message to let you know that we are finishing up work on the line of march and staging assignments and compiling information on parade-day events. We hope to email you exact staging locations on March 1 or 2 (a house number in the 400, 500 or 600 block of West Market Street), and a suggested arrival time based on your placement.
Units in division 1 will be asked to arrive starting at 12 noon, and units in the other divisions will be given staggered arrival times. You may arrive earlier than the suggested time if you need time to decorate your vehicle. The suggested arrival times are so that units located near the front of the parade are able to get through the staging area before it becomes too congested with entries.
There is a parade route map posted online at www.YorkSaintPatricksDayParade.org that you might find helpful.
Thank you again for your interest in the York Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, and we look forward to a great event on Saturday, March 12!

I can probably dust the cobwebs off Jeep and come out for this. Do we have enough Jeeps to make a good showing? Any thoughts on decorating the rigs with anything?
-
We are only allowed 2 or 3 jeeps 8 put and 1 pickup truck.....but we didn't plan anything for Waynes truck so probably not necessary .......someone needs to walk and hand out candies....buy some shamrocks and put on there....Chris was supposed to come with the mean green machine
-
I am still in just let me know where and when. Sorry I have not been watching lately. Fighting an upper respitory infection and it is knocking me for a loop.

So how many Jeeps do you have? Do you want me to bring mine? I got nothing else going on so I can definitley bring it up, but if you already have enough it won't hurt my feelings either.

Um sorry I have worked 13 hrs straight two days in a row and still had to take care of family....
So far I have Chris and his Jeep......I can only have 2 more and 1 pickup truck.
You all are responsible for decorating Jeeps in a St. patricks day theme. I will make up candies with our name on it and bring our banner. I need people to walk and hand out candy as well. I would also like everyone to wear their green staff shirt.
Please post if you are willing to drive in the parade or you are walking.
I will be posting the meeting time as soon as I hear from the lady again today.
-
I really don't think I need to decorate "The Grinch" >:D But I will put something on about St. Patties Day.

So only Chris is coming now? What happened to the people that raised thier hands at the meeting?
we must reflect an irish theme is what my instructions say again......
Staging Instructions for: PA Jeeps
Your staging area assignment: 582-588 West Market St.
Please stay as close as possible to your assigned staging location so that parade marshals can easily locate you when the parade begins to form.
Your registration form indicates that your entry consists of the following vehicles:
1 pickup truck, 3 jeeps
Please do not bring more vehicles than you have indicated—there will NOT be room.
Please note: only vehicles that are in the parade will be admitted into the staging area.
We do not have room for dropping off inside the staging area.
If your entry contains a vehicle and your staging location is in the 400 block of
West Market Street, vehicle(s) should enter the staging area at Hartley Street.
If your entry contains a vehicle and your staging location is in the 500 block of
West Market Street, vehicle(s) should enter the staging area at West Street.
If your entry contains a vehicle and your staging location is in the 600 block of
West Market Street, vehicle(s) should enter the staging area at Belvedere Street.
Please note: Assignments in the 600 block are approximate -- units will be moved forward into the 500 block once the parade begins to move.
If you arrive later than your suggested arrival time, you may experience difficulty getting your vehicle through the staging area as it gets close to step-off time and the area begins to fill up.
If you arrive before parade staging officially begins, please leave this paper on your dashboard so that York City Police can see that your vehicle is registered for the parade.
Your placement (Division # & Unit #) is: Division 4.07
Suggested arrival times:
Division 1 (Leinster Division): 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Division 2 (Munster Division): 12 noon to 12:30 p.m.
Division 3 (Connacht Division): 12:15 to 12:45 p.m.
Division 4 (Ulster Division): 12:30 to 1 p.m.
You may enter the parade staging area prior to your suggested arrival time if desired. If you wish to decorate your vehicle in the staging area, you may arrive early and park at your designated location. The above times are suggested so that entries near the end of the parade do not feel obligated to arrive as early as those entries at the beginning of the parade.
PLEASE NOTE: One representative from your entry must report to the registration station at Market and Hartley Streets to check in and pick up your staging packet, which will include your judging number and other announcements.
Entries that contain vehicles may park at their assigned location prior to stopping at the registration station. Entries that do not contain vehicles should gather on the sidewalk.
If you need additional information, please email YSPDparade@aol.com or call (717) 578-0146.

I'll do it Jenn. I'll add some green to the yellow and represent for the occasion. I'll see you and Chris and hopefully a few others there tomorrow. :)
-
Apparently I did not get the permit to hand out candy in time so we will not be giving out candy....maybe I will find some cheap toys...I don't know
-
Staging at Market and West? :o Wear your flak jackets!
Then again, it might not be so bad with safety in numbers.
-
I have th decorations for the Grinch. See everyone at the staging area.

I guess this is where that CC permit comes in handy... >:D

I was very disappointed that only 3 club members showed up. Thank you Chris, Colli and Lori for comin out and decorating your Jeeps......we handed out candy and beads. The anouncer plugged the Jeep Show and talked about the club. We had a long wait to get started but once we started we had fun!

Unfortunately, I had to work. Then, Jon V. came in and told me that he forgot all about it. ::) I'm glad that you had enough Jeeps, anyway. So, they let you hand out candy after all? That's good!
Did anybody get photos or video?
-
I wouldn't say 2 Jeeps was "enough". It would have been nice to have a better showing.
I don't know if they "let" us hand out candy, but we did it anyway. I heard we were on TV, and here are a few pictures:

Thanks Colli for the pics I know Chris got some as well.
As we were walking I could hear kids talking about how cool the Green Jeep was!
-
Having that green Jeep was a must--I'm glad that Chris was able to make it!
Nice touch with the hats, girls! Both decorated Jeeps looked great! Cute teddy bear on the cargo rack!
-
Sorry... Matt and I would have come out w/ the Green Sahara if we would have been in town! :(
Next year we'll have to plan better (Matt and I that is)! :)
Looks like it was fun tho!

anyone consider participating in red lion's memorial day parade? here's the info:
Memorial Day Parade and Memorial Service, Monday, May 30 10AM
The Red Lion American Legion Post 543 and the Red Lion Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1446 will host the
annual Memorial Day Parade and Memorial Service on Monday, May 30, 2011. The Parade will form at
9AM on Horace Mann Ave. and step off at 10AM traveling as follows: north on S. Main St.; west on
W. Broadway; south on S. Franklin St.; east on Boundary Ave. to Fairmount Park. The Memorial Service will
be held at the completion of the Parade at the Red Lion Memorial Shaft, located on the Boundary Ave. side
of Fairmount Park. In case of very extreme weather, the Service will be held in the Auditorium of the Red Lion Senior
High School. We would like the community to participate with floats, antique vehicles etc. showing respect and
appreciation of those who have served in Armed Forces of the U.S. If interested in participating, please call the
American Legion at 244-4828. We are hoping to see most of the Red Lion Community attend to honor those who
gave their lives for us!
