Hi Lekooks!
Summer is approaching, and we are planning on being in the Hartland Hometown Parade on June 26th (Sunday).
The parade starts at 1:30, however the line up is usually a few hours before that. We are planning on just one parade this year (last year we did two). We had a car-pulled trailer with a float featuring a small version of our church - Thanks again to Ric Sternkopf for building that! If you haven't seen the "mini" version, it's sitting in the Social Hall towards the back of the room. We also had volunteers from LCUUC walk alongside the float passing out candy and postcards about LCUUC.
Here are some ideas for the float/etc. so far...
-Have any kids from LCUUC ride their bikes and the adults walk alongside the float. We ran out of candy too quickly last year, so if the adults passed the candy out and the kids just focused on riding their bikes, we might be able to use up the candy for the entire parade (or at least the majority of the route).
-Have a band/choir/music feature on the trailer, or get a larger trailer if possible to fit a musical group from LCUUC (Hey any guys/bands/ladies want to volunteer your talent and/or voices??? Choir folks???)
-Jazz up the float design from last year either with or without a musical addition - perhaps a chalice-like theme?
-Other suggestions - I open up for you to fill in!
Please email me (Claire Johnson) at my regular email address (theaussiefish at yahoo.com) if you are interested in being apart of the parade details, or find me at church most Sunday's. You certainly don't have to be apart in all of it - if it's just the parade you'd like to participate in, that's great! Or if you'd rather build the float than walk/bike - that's okay, too. The more people we have, the better! This is a part of Public Presence, however we'd like to open it up to anyone who wants to help.
I will be putting a call out for candy for the parade in a few weeks. We will need to get rolling with a number of participants no later than May 15th, so I can get our paperwork in before the due date (May 31st).
Thanks again, and happy spring!
Sincerely,Claire Johnson (Public Presence Chair)
