2011 Edmond, OK 4th of July Parade

[Warthog]

Since Tackettr is over playing in the SandBox, I am taking the point for this mission.

It is time again for the 4th of July Parade!!!

I submitted the paperwork today and put us down for 14 vehicles (Max).

I expect the plan to be simular to last year, more to follow for anyone new this year.

Date: Monday 4 July 2011 Please mark your calendars!!!!!!!!

See attached files for more details. Or go to www.libertyfest.org

Hope to see you there!!!

Here are the last two parades we where in. We took Second place the first year and First place last year. Not bad for a bunch of $@$#^%#'s

We will be meeting at the Walmart at I-35 and S.E. 15th St in Edmond at 7:30. We need to be at the staging area by 0800 and the parade starts at 0845.

Bring water and shade as it gets hot waiting for the start time.

No candy or anything is to be thrown or handed out from the vehicles. Also no political signs or campaining.

[MacGowan]

I'm in! ...barring severe mechanical issues that MIGHT arise, of course. I'll probably have my nephew and a few of his friends riding in the bed, again - they had a terrific time at the Del City parade and have been asking about the 4th of July parade ever since.

Hopefully my rim colors will be matching by then .

I would love to go but depends on work.

Already off but I'm going to have to hitch a ride with one of you guys if you have room? Let me know if someone has room....

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Wife wants me in the Bethany parade so we will see what happens....

Obviously she's not aware of the fact that your Deuce needs to be around other Deuces... for it's emotional well-being

We will be done by noon so do both

 

[Warthog]

Just heard from the Parade Officials and they are looking forward to us being there again this year and taking the prize money home with us.

 

[Tackettr]

I'll be there in spirit!!!

No clue yet if I can make this, but would I be welcome with my yellow civilian HUMMER? I do have a olive drab M101A3 that I would pull with it, just to try and fit in. Just putting a feeler out there, not sure how a yellow truck would look in the camo/OD convoy.

I do also know a fellow here in the metro area with a black HUMMER and a tan M101A3 as well, not sure if he's registered on here or not. Also no clue if he's busy for the 4th or not.

My feelings won't get hurt if y'all say no.

I'm sure we can fit you in. We have some cans of green spray paint...

I'll be there in spirit!!!

We will miss having you and your family there.

Stay safe!!!

 

[M813A1]

@ Tackettr !! God Speed and stay Safe !!! We willl Missi You !!!


@ Fudge we can get some waterbased paint and just add some liquid soap and paint your HUMMER OD Green and just wash it off after the Parade !!

 

[M1075]

I think I should drive Tackett's truck while he is gone. Anyone know where he left the keys?

 

[MacGowan]

Green, red and yellow trucks? I guess we could represent the nation of Zimbabwe on the 4th!

As far as I'm concerned: The more the merrier! Who doesn't know the H1 originated as a military vehicle, anyway? It's not like he's trying to admit an H3

Warthog: I gotta ask... what's up with your avatar?? Seems everyone here is changing their avatar to the same one. Too funny!!

 

[Patattack]

[BigHank]

I should be in for this. Probably bring my puppies along for the ride.

 

[Warthog]

We are going to meet at the WalMart at I-35 and S.E.15th St in Edmond at 7:30am and convoy to the parade staging site at 8:00am.

 

[BigHank]

Looking forward to it.

so i know we can't throw candy but is there anything against passengers in the bed during the parade? I have recruited a few of my fellow vets to throw on the uniform and look good in the bed of my truck.
