The event is Thursday, December 2rd and starts at 6:45pm from the campus of UCO. Our rally point and rally time are TBD.

Please decorate your vehicle with holiday lights and a general theme of supporting our troops. More details to follow.

Joe, you going to have the inflatable things in the back of the M715 again this year? That was kind of neat looking.

 

[Warthog]

I'm going with a Santa theme this year.

Once again, the same as last year:

"Parade participants shall not throw, hand out, project by any means, any items from parade entries"

"All horses must be Diapered!!!"


I wonder if that includes all of us Horses' Arsses also?

I hated it when you couldn't throw candy anymore, a real shame, I think we've gone too far, is OSHA handling parades now.

We will again meet at the WalMart at I-35 and 15th Street in Edmond, OK at 5:00pm

We will then Convoy to the staging area at the University of Central Oklahoma at 5:30.

The parade starts at 6:45pm

I have signed us up for 6 trucks, so let me know if you can attend.

Warthog,
Thanks for taking the lead on this! I am planning on being there. M1075 & I meet for lunch yesterday and took our prize money to order some banners.

Has anyone checked with the Blue Star Mothers of Norman? They were very interested in a truck to ride in for the Norman Christmas Parade. I don't have any details about it, but I think it is a day parade.

Hey guys, I wish I could be there. Be sure and take some pictures.

Hopefully I will get to see everyone at the December 11th convoy if that is still on.

I think M1075 is out, he received orders from higher.
