Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade 2012

[Fierofool]

We are again invited to participate in the Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade.  The parade will take place on March 17, 2012 in Downtown Atlanta.

We are looking for as many shiny Fieros or Fiero rebodies as we can get.  Whodeanie said he would bring 3, including Kermit and will seek permission from customers whose cars are in his shop at the time to allow their cars to be entered in the parade. 

All other Fieros which clean up well and have good paint are also invited to participate with us, whether you're a part of the club, or not. 

There are a limited number of participants allowed and I must get the application submitted and I need to advise them of how many vehicles will be in our group.  Please sign up in this thread.

The Georgia Fiero Club will cover any entry fees.

count me in again...

I also have to write a narrative with a description of the cars so the announcer at the review stand can describe us.  So, it would be good that I know of any modifications or rebodied cars that will be entering.

Does that mean every car without being "shiny" (like mine and/or Don's) can't join? I don't even want to ask about Shanines car.

"T.C." and I are in again!

I've even been scouring the Internet since last yr's parade for a pair of life-sized stuffed Doberman toys that can be put on the rear decklid. (A running gag on MagPI was the Dobermans always chasing him over a wall or preventing him from getting into the estate).

Can't find no (life-sized) stuffed Dobbies, nowhere; so if anyone just happens to know where I can buy a pair, please let me know!

Being in a parade, we've always tried to have the best looking cars we can get.  Other car groups appear to do the same.  Don is the president, and it's his final decision as to what we put in.  I was just following the guidelines we've used in the past.  The interiors don't necessarily need to be topnotch because the only ones who see the inside are the people who walk around during the hours we sit waiting to go into the parade.  Folks along the parade route must stay on the sidewalks.

That is a really cool opportunity to show off the cars.

As much as I hate it, mine will not be in the parade, as it is not up to par.

I agree that a certain luster and look is a minimum we should demand of the cars participating, as thay are representing us and our club.

Which is why I wouldn't put mine in either. Charlie's is gorgeous, mine is just a driver for now. Maybe next year after I finish painting all these parts and installing them. It should present well then.

Yea, I am getting closer to getting rid of my blemishes, but I doubt it will be blemish free by St. Patrick's Day.

It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as it will shine up. Slap some wax on it.

[Donster]

Our 3 Fieros are beyond what a wax-job could help

2nd that

I understand that at a parade you want to show off but how many of us have a great looking car in the first place? And like Pat said: a good wax might do the trick.
I think it would be sad if only 5 Fieros could attend instead of 15 (random numbers).
Come on people, try the wax first and then see how your car looks like. We have over 2 months left to shiny up the cars

Not only does it show off the cars, but it brings publicity to the club.  There are a number of awards given to participants and with a good showing, we could be a winner. 

There are always people in the crowds that yell out that they had or have one.  One year, one guy was even pointing at each individual car and yelling out the year.  We've always been well received by the organizers and the viewers.
