2016 St. Patricks Day Parade In Dublin, Ga.

[Fierofool]

At the February meeting, Pat asked about interest in participating in the Dublin St. Patrick's Day Parade again this year.  If I can get at least 6 of the following cars firmly committed, I will submit our application.

May I Suggest We Go Down The Night Before And Get Motel Rooms ?
I Think Pat Stayed At The Dublin Super 8 Last Year.
Also Pat Will Need Someone To Drive One Of The Cars.

I can drive one of them.  I'm not going to put mine in this year. 

So far, that's three.  Anyone else?

[Roger]

Won't be able to make it this year.

I spoke with Summer at church this morning and she is willing to carry one end of the banner again this year.

There is the largest possibility that I won't be able to attend this year. Definitely won't be able to come on Friday.
What time and where does everyone need to show up?

Last year they staged us at The First Church of The Nazarene on Telfair Street.  I think all the 155 groups were staged on or beside Telfair.  We won't know where we're staged until we submit our application.  I checked last year's thread and found that we needed to be in our staging area by 9-9:30.

I've printed off the application.  When Pat and Ron determine we have enough cars, I'll submit it. The application has to be in their hands by March 11, so at the latest, I need to mail it by March 8, just two weeks away.  As is usual with club participation events like this, I suggest that the club cover the entry fee.  Cars must be decorated with a St. Patrick's theme. 

I will not be able to go down there on Friday, but will arrive in time for the parade on Saturday.

How Many Cars Do We Have Going ?
   

[Fierofool]

Just the three that have confirmed in this thread, so far.

Looks like I'll have to miss the 19th.

I'm working on a 4th car.  The minister friend of mine who has the gold 86GT said I could drive his if he gets new tires on it.  He plans to do that by next week.  The tires that are on it won't hold air more than a day. 

If someone else can drive one of Pat's cars, that will make 4.  Dave said he would be willing to drive it, if Pat agrees.  At least 5 cars would be good, 6 even better.  Ron768 is rearranging his schedule to try to make the parade.

Time to hit the dollar stores for your static cling decorations.  Ray has been to Michaels and Dollar Tree and has found sheets for $1.00 and they include some very large decals.  They also have shirts, hats, and other related St. Pats items. 

They also have the eyeballs we put on the headlights last year.
