Thank you for signing up to be part of this year’s parade with us! If you haven’t signed up yet, do it RIGHT NOW right here
We are very excited to be part of this HUGE opportunity to show everyone how big our community really is and we need you all to put a good show on the 2nd biggest St. Patrick’s day parade in the whole USA… think about it! close to 1 million people will be watching you!
If you have a chance, stop by Woody’s and get your t-shirt! They are $10 and your purchase will help us pay for the parade fees… buy a t-shirt and skate for free!!
If you aren’t able to stop by, don’t worry about it… just make sure to wear something green and we will be OK.
The Skinny:
We will be meeting at the corner of Lincoln and Henry Streets.
Here is a map of the location (from last year but the spot is the same)
WHEN?
This year’s Parade will take place on Thursday, March 17th.
Check-in time is between 11 and 12 noon.
The parade starts at 10 AM but our float won’t be moving until later in the afternoon (likely 1pm)… you may start there with us or join us along the parade route.
Notes:
- Parking will be scarce – so make sure to get there early or get dropped off at the meeting point.
- The parade will be long – It should take at least 2hrs to go over the whole route, and we will be sitting around for a while before our section starts moving…. so be ready for a long day!
- Make sure to be rested and bring a drink or two for the ride – I’ll have some drinks with me for the riders but it is unlikely to be enough for everyone. Also, bring a snack so you are not starving while waiting… Kroger’s is just around the corner from where we setup… just keep that in mind and bring some cash if needed.
- No alcohol will be permitted… don’t even think about it! – the parade boss will throw us all out if a single person on our group is found drinking during the parade. So if you have to “load up,” just stay home and watch us from your living room TV!
Lastly, consider the fact that this is our chance to show the city that we are not a bunch of criminals… SO, be on your best behavior, put on a good attitude and skate on. It should be fun again!
Email me at skate@woodys.skatethatshit.com with any questions… if you are a parent and would like to join us too, you are welcome to bike along… and let me know if you have any questions.
