Here are some photos from the parade and gathering afterwards. We had a great time!

I have to be out of town this Saturday morning, but I hope to be back in time to watch the parade. A friend who is just nuts about parades is coming to Youngstown for a family visit and also wants to attend.

Thanks to forum member Greg, (yfdgricker), we have a VEHICLE for the parade ----
and it is not just ANY Vehicle. It is a vintage firetruck called "Ember"

You can view Ember here

He says there is room for several people to ride.

Thank you very much Greg.

Hope to see you all there.

Several candidates for Youngstown city council planned to be in the parade.
They have now been ruled off the ballot.

But we may have a surprise at the parade - stay tuned!

The Forum now has a float but it won't be in the Lansingville Parade.

I plan to bring bags of candy and hopefully business cards with the MV address on them.
KennyJoe said candy is suggested.

I do need to know if anyone else plans to come.
If I am solo, I am not going to try to carry a long banner myself. I will bring a decorated flea market cart instead... so I can display a sign on all sides and carry handouts at the same time.

So folks please let me know if any of you plan to come.

Is it OK to hand out candy to the kids watching the parade? Also, is it appropriate to hand out fliers to the adults?

ForumManager · June 19, 2007, 08:27:36 AM

That's a good idea too. Thank you.
I hope I am not the only person to go!
Please let me know if you plan to go folks.

Hi everyone - I am glad everyone is as excited as I am about the parade. Just hope it is every bit as exciting as you imagine

Rather than spray paint on the table cloth (can be really messy to do) how about TAPE - like black electrical tape - I have seen bright yellow tape also. It would be a little labor intensive but cheap and well worth the effort - the paint will eventually crack and perhaps rub off here and there rolling it up and in storage. Tape will last longer and should be a "snap" to follow simple block print

No matter what - it will be nice to meet each other in person. It will be here and gone before ya know it BUT the pleasure of meeting you will remain for years to come I am sure.

Sounds like a good way to go. Thanks Greg.

Maybe spraypaint on the vinyl tablecloth. Since its made up of small dots rather than brushstrokes, it might adhere better. You could get some stencils and put some color on first then spray the letters on last. Just a thought.

Hi KennyJoe,
You didn't give people the impression we need a banner. It would be nice if we could advertise the group with the website address on it and maybe bring business cards to pass out so people remember the address.
I liked your email suggestion about a plastic tablecloth on a pole... what would be good to paint it with?
Does anyone have a suggestion for paint would remain flexible and wouldn't crack off the vinyl if the banner was rolled up in storage?

I am very sorry if I gave people the impression that BANNERS are a necessity for the parade

that is NOT the case ! ! ! I just would think that "a group" walking or riding would want to be recognized and a banner would be a good way of doing it.

A simple sign would work just as well - posterboard should work - if it is a little damp out put an umbrella over yourself and it

if you are walking. We will have the parade and rain or shine is in the Hands of The Lord - I know some great puddles to splash in if it does rain a bit - if it has been a while since you have splashed in a good puddle - I suggest the next time it rains to find one and JUMP AROUND IN IT - GREAT FUN and FREE

and if it does rain you will be in practice
