The Parade is Done!!!

It's over! I managed to pull off a city parade yesterday and I think it went pretty darn well. There were a few hiccups (the police blocked off the wrong street and were sending people the wrong way) we delt with them though and guess what, everyone had a good time. I had a great committee who made sure things went smoothly and the staging I had designed worked like a charm. I was happy with the end result. I'm going to spend the next week playing with my kids and getting caught up on the movies I missed.

Bands Galore!

I'm so exicted! I've finally heard from the local bands and I've got four coming. I know this may not seem like something to shout about but how lame is a parade with no bands? Yee ha! I'm a happy girl.

I Love A Parade!

So I'm in charge of our city's annual parade. I volunteered for this position thinking, well, I don't know what I was thinking, but that didn't stop me. So in NINE weeks I will be standing on Main street holding a clip board and having someone administer Prosac via intravenous drip. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally stoked for the big day. I've hired clowns, stilt walkers, SpongeBob (A lookalike, he was busy that day), Ariel (once again, a lookalike, she has this whole scaly skin reaction to harsh summer sun), and balloon artists. Oh, but the fun doesn't stop there, I've got a Dixieland band, a Pipe and drum band and a Mariachi band not to mention the local highschool band (top in the state). I'm trying to arrange for a C130 Military aircraft flyover but that is proving to be harder than I thought. Basically, I'm trying to make this a very entertaining year. I think this will be a great time so I've decided that I'm going to keep a count down here so everyone (I mean you Andrew) can see how it's going. So everyone put July 14th on your calendars!
