Pat and Linda now have a 3rd Fiero and have offered to include it in the parade if we can find a driver for a stick shift.  Any takers?  I think the club can cover the cost of fuel so the only expense will be whatever you spend for your personal needs. 

The current list of definite entries are:

Ron R--1
Charles--1
Ray--1
Pat--3
Don--1

I will submit the entry tomorrow with just those unless I hear from someone else with a definite answer.  Paul, do you plan to be there?  Ron S.?

Thank you.  Are any of the daughters willing to carry our club banner so people will know what a Fiero is?

Couldn't convince or bribe by daughters to come along. 

My wife will (probably) be attending, but she wants to watch from the crowd.

I'm in.
Paul, give your wife a video camera to capture crowd reactions. It may be interesting.

Great! 9 cars will make a good showing.  I'll work on finding someone from up here to carry the banner for us. 

Don't forget, go to the dollar stores and find decorations for your cars.  TopNotch and I have green film to put over our headlights but we need the cars decorated.  Keep your receipt for reimbursement, everyone. 

It's looking like Roger may drive Pat's 3rd car.  I spoke with two other board members and the club will provide fuel for the third car.

My daughter (10yrs) said she'll Attend. She volunteered to hold to help hold the banner If needed.

That's great.  They will walk along in front of our cars carrying the banner.  I have a lightweight set of rods that we mount it on.  It will require one person on each end.  Now, I've got to try to find another.  Be sure she dresses in green, too.

All the cars must be decorated in a St. Patrick's theme according to the application, thus the reason for the static cling shamrocks, green paper streamers, etc.

I just spoke with one of our young teenagers from church and she said that she will be glad to help to carry our banner for us, so with your daughter, Ron, we have our ladies.

Drat! I was hoping to get my green mini-skirt out of the cleaners in time too.

Tell them to put a rush on it, Roger.  You can bring up the rear.  WAY to the rear!  :)

Any word yet if you and Brenda are going to drive Pat and Linda's 3rd car?

I have the information for our starting point and entry into the parade.

We should be in place by 9:30 AM.  The parade kicks off at 10:30. 

First Church of the Nazarene
312 Telfair Street
Dublin, GA 31021

This address is the same as US Hwy 441 South.  When coming in on I-16 from Macon, take Exit 51 and turn left.  Go straight for about 2 miles and the church is on the right. 

Coming in from the north on US 441, it might be best to take the bypass until it dead ends into Telfair Street then turn left to the church.  This is because the downtown parade and festival area will probably be clogged or blocked off.
