Goggle is my friend . . . . I just search for the parades in my area and then submit the necessary paperwork.Hey TJ,
I'm interested into get my Deuce in the parade circuit. How do you go about learning who to talk too and all?
Sorry about the thread Hi Jack
Every organizer seems thrilled to admit my truck . . . . you just need to have proof of insurance usually.
The Tampa parades that I do every year are:
Independence Day in Temple Terrace
Veterans Day in west Tampa
USF Homecoming
Chasco Fiesta in New Port Richey
Guavaween/ Halloween in Ybor City
Christmas Parade in Ybor City
To make the truck even more impressive I have a 1000 watt concert quality sound system that I put in the back running off of a 24v inverter and have an MP3 player with themed music.
I also try to fill the back with a crowd . . . Scouts, Veterans, USF grads, or in the case of Halloween the Lions Krewe dressed as Indiana Jones.
You are welcome to join me any time! - This Saturday even!
There are also two mini parades that I help coordinate:
My Jeep club does an illuminated Christmas light ride where we decorate our rigs and drive through the best Christmas light neighborhoods.
The other is a month long toy drive were we collect donated toys and then partner with a radio and TV station for coverage. We then load all of the donations into our Jeeps and convoy to the toy drop off location (Metropolitan Ministries.) Too bad Sasquatch Santa is so far away! LOL
