[Peace-discuss] AWARE floats

[Ricky Baldwin]

I thought about everyone who worked and pondered over this year's float yesterday riding my bike home in the rain after learning the whole thing was called off.  How disappointing!  
 
This would have been number 8 for AWARE (good for us, but bad that we still have to).  Well, there still hasn't been a July 4th parade here without us since our glorious first attempt -- when some folks thought we might be strung up -- July 4, 2002.
 
Thanks for keeping it going!

Ricky

As you've heard, Meg Miner (yay, Meg!!) is bringing a two-wheeled
trailer to the parade tomorrow, so we will have a (small) float.

Can you help decorate the float tomorrow (Sat) morning?  (Please?)

If you can think of a good kind of decoration,
please make it up and bring it.  We'll only have the
trailer for about an hour before the judges come.
Schedule:

   10:15 Meg and Karen bring trailer by IMC
   10:40 trailer + everything at parade site [*]
        (might be a bit before 10:40 with luck)
   11:30 judges may come by any time
   noon  anyone to walk with the parade should be ready to go

We have *some* materials -- some bunting, a little
crepe paper (too little! could use some red/white/blue...),
scissors, tape, etc.  Also some rolls of colorful gift-wrapping
paper which a creative person could turn into something.

And, we have a lots of assorted big signs which a bunch of
people have made.

An umbrella could be a good idea -- rain is likely in the morning.

[*] Parade site -- ours is #47.  Again, it's one block *west*
of Lincoln, on north/south Gregory St.,
1/4 block north of Oregon, 3/4 block south of Illinois St.

Hope to see you tomorrow...
