Saturday  The 4th of July 

                                                            2PM

St. Matthias to Cornell to Zedaker to Indianola to Taylor to Murry to Adamas School where we will have a gathering and refreshments will be served.

Thanks for organizing the parade.

where is lansingville? do i need a passport to go to this part of this country?

It's right down the Hill from Hazelton, Ohio.....

No passport, just bring some dough.......

I think the Stonewall Democrats are at the bottom of Lansingville.......

     If there are any groups or organizations that would like to march in the parade please let  me know by calling330 7885114

the wandering- wondering are going to have a regiment their too. i heard there is a group that is called, "what are we going to do with terry esarco" in the parade. is that true?

not all is wwweeeellll  :'(   much difficulty as it goes so far   :(. . .  more to follow soon :-X

Hay Bobdog LANSINGVILLE IS NO WAY DOWN THE HILL FROM Hazelton - your map is obviously folded wrong  :o  You are quite correct that a passport is really not need (but appreciated) and yes bring dough and BABA will be glad you did ! ! !

iwasthere was in Lansingville at least once that I know of - cause I saw him lurching in the shadows of the full moon with my night binoculars  ;) while on patrol - and WHAT A SIGHT that was  ;D  I think that Terry kid was with him cause I thought I heard some complaining  :laugh:

Kenny:

Since some of our best Polka bands come from Lansingville, will there be any polka music?

that was terry good twin. he was complaining about his evil twin terry that is what you heard while you were playing the peeping tom of the neighborhood under the guise of blockwatch patrol.

Yes folks ----- It seems as though Liability Insurance is NOW needed for both Parades and "Gatherings".  This is required by both The City of Youngstown and The Youngstown Board of Education.  I have asked a few insurance agencies who had to go to their respected brokers and found the cheepest to be $360.00 - but that would include any kind of activity we would have for one whole year.  Poor BABA don't got that kind of dough ! ! !  Maybe next year we could put in for a grant and have the insurance for ONE year so that we can have the parade AFTER the 4th of July one year and BEFORE the 4th of July the next year.   :laugh:  :P  Does anyone think that is thinking too much like a Republican ? ? ?   ???   I think the answer to THAT question would have to start another thread  :laugh:

P.S.  In MY HOME POLKA RULES ! ! !  I will never forget one time we had friends visiting for a few days from Baltimore and we had "Da Strudders Station" on the radio playing Polka music around 8 in the morning.  Thy couldn't believe their ears and thought it was hysterical.  We think it is a GREAT WAY to start the day  :-* Tanks Strudders  :-*

P.S.S.  NEXT time you come to Lansingville iwasthere you HAD BETTER bring your passport and some dough because BABA is going to ask you for both  ;D

P.S.S.S.  I SAID I WAS ON PATROL - YOU CAN NOT PROVE A THING - AND I AM STICKING TO MY STORY  :P

Is shrinking the number of parades in Youngstown part of the 2010 Plan?

;D

iwasthere cannot believe what he read. neighborhood parades must show proof of insurance for a gathering!!!!!!!! has anyone contacted jay Williams administration for a waive for this ridiculous roadblock to celebrate the nation's birthday???? what would our founding fathers would say to this assine request from the city and the board of education. kennyjoe iwasthere never carries money to lansingville because the exchange rate is lower then the russian ruble and for the passport you would have to beat iwasthere with a wet noodle before iwasthere will give up his passport while visiting his lady friend Romona in lansingville. kennyjoe do you want a group of protesters to stand outside of the cityhall and board of education bldg. to show the city residents the injustice that is brought down to the lansingville parade's committee? i know a group of professional pro/anti ACLU protesters that will take on your cause. kennyjoe give iwasthere the go ahead and will do the hit for you.

This should make the Bulldoze Youngstown folks happy....and we know who you are....

Can't the 7th ward coalition and blockwatch groups help offset the costs?

That has got to be one of the dumbest things Youngstown has pulled yet.

I understand Iris Guglecello made this ruling. Is there nothing more pressing with which to utilize the talents of our law department?

I belong to a block watch and we operate on a shoestring as does Lansingville's and I assume others. The 7WCC has a tight budget, too. That's why we do fundraisers such as our annual yard sale.

Is there any chance of using the St. Matthias parking lot for the picnic?

did iris make this decision by herself or did she have to hire outside council to make this ruling? she has spent over 250,000 dollars of the ytown taxpayers monies on outside council last year, no wonder the wandering diners have no police protection while dining at ytown eateries. drennan told iwasthere that as long a city rep is in the parade there is no need for blockwatches' parades to have ins. the blockwatch group has it through the city rep on the hospice of the city.

THANK YOU    :-*   THANK YOU    :-*   THANK YOU    :-*   

TO ALL ON THIS FORUM for you're encouragement in going on with this years parade.  It was directly through the efforts of Jay and others on this forum that TRULY MADE The Lansingville  Parade the success that it turned out to be.  This insurance thing has "knocked me out" and hopefully by next year - things maybe different - but for now ya just might say "I'm out for the count" (7 - 1 is sad but not too bad)

[/size][/color]

I just got a call and two people came forward with insurance money  :-*  Now the problem is John R. Swierz will be out of town until Tuesday and I will be out of town over the weekend.  That gives me little little little time to hustle it up.  WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN DO IT.  :-* I haven't seen the money yet and my Treasurer is also out of town until Monday.  So we are going ahead with it - You know you are my backbone and whatever you do to help will be most appreciated.  Now I gotta get to work or be late.  :-*

great iwasthere will be either in the parade or on the sidelines grabbing up all the candy so iwasthere can have it for halloween this year. iwasthere is on a fixedincome so iwasthere has to do creative ways of saving monies for fun times that is in the near future/

What time will the great Lansingville Parade step off this year......?

Will the Green Party be given liberties to speed and run traffic lights to get there from the Struthers Parade?

This Year's Parade and Party will be on: THE 4TH OF JULY 2 PM
                             

This short notice has sent me up a tree especially since I will be out of town for the week end.
However this much I do know - if people from this forum come  8) A GOOD TIME WILL BE HAD !!!
CAN I HAVE AN AMEN ON THAT   ;)



The Parade will start in the parking lot at St. Matthias Church/School at 2PM we will go West on Cornell to Zedicar - North to Indianola - East to Taft Avenue - North on Taft to Murry - East to Adams School parking lot where festivities will commence with refreshments and maybe even entertainment  :laugh:

I will keep everone posted as more details occur  :-* 

iwasthere will be there with my group of radical concern citizens after we cause some upheaval in the struthers day 4th of july parade.

According to the Insurance Policy :

NO THROWING OF CANDY OR ANY OBJECTS/ITEMS from participants in the parade to spectators.  NO THROWING ANYTHING ! ! !

 :'( SORRY YOU CAN NOT THROW CANDY . . . .   HOWEVER -

Well GOOD PEOPLE - the weather looksa good and I sure as hope as good as the weather looks the turnout from this forum will be even better cause YOUNS GUYS to me are the BRIGHTEST STARS IN THE SKY  :-*
HOPE TO SEE YA SOON ! ! !    :-*

Well it will be close, but I think we might be able to be on the side of the road while en route to my brothers house.

        Besides the normal(?) neighborhood clowns(a funny) I hope some real clowns volunteer!

 


       Another parade is on the horizen!  This year First Night Youngstown and the city will host a "Holiday Parade" followed by the lighting of the christmas tree on December 5th. Parade at 3PM and tree lighting at 4:30 PM. For more info contact Lynsey  Hughes at 330 742-8710.  We're hoping for bands ,floats, cars  dance groups ,etc. Spread the word!

Well as far as Lansingville goes about an hour ago I stopped and talked to our resident clown who was practicing juggling on the sidewalk - the kind and gentle person is planning to be there.  I also heard a rumor ...... you know how that is ..... there may be A LOT of clowns in the parade. :-*

  Kennyjoe, did you remember to call the T.V. stations and the vindy?
Its not to late to call the newsrooms and let them know about the parade.

I saw him about 2 weeks ago, out on the sidewalk. Not bad at all.

        To bad that we never have any musicians in the parade. Does anyone out there know anyone?

i know a couple of people who like to blow their own horn on a regular basis. i will contact them next year.
