Happy New Year!!
Thank you to all who participated in the December meeting. We had a great time, a wonderful gift exchange, fun ‘ugly sweaters’ and we raised $800 to go toward Phil and Deb Anderson’s Cystic Fibrosis campaign to honor their daughter Tiana, who passed away in October.
No Meeting this month!
Attendance has been low, and Pete and Robin will be out of the country, so we decided not to have a January meeting. We’ll see everyone in February.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade Float Build!
It’s that time of year.. our favorite event is rapidly approaching! We are registered for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade!
Parade day is March 11, 2023. Stay tuned for more details. We are back to having the 52 foot trailer pulled by Duffy’s Crane Service.
We will have a float build weekend on March 4 and 5. This year, the float will be a ‘Moving Party with a Purpose,’ complete with a live band! Denver’s own “Groove Time Sitters” will be playing on the float! We’ll have a beach scene in front of the band, so those who NEED to ride the float will sit on chairs and watch the band. We’ll have our Tiki Bar, and a few other “buildings”on the float to go with our beach/PWAP theme.
We don’t have an overall parade theme yet from the Denver St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee, but when we get that, we’ll figure out a way to tie our ‘Moving Party with a Purpose’ to the theme.
As always, you must be a member to walk with us in the parade, so please renew your registrations. We’ll be handing out wrist bands on float build days, as well as at the February meeting, and on the morning of the parade.
Start putting your costumes together! Dress in your favorite crazy Parrothead and St. Patrick’s Day outfits!
Also start gathering candy and leis to hand out during the parade route. This year we thought it would be fun to hand out leis instead of beads.. after all.. we are the Colorado Parrothead Club!
If you need to ride on the float, please send an email to [email protected] to reserve your spot. We have a limited number of spaces for riders, so this will be a first come first served basis.
We need sponsors to help us pay for the float. If you know of anyone or any business who would like to help us out, we would greatly appreciate it. We will hang your company logo/banner from our float for anyone who helps sponsor us!
