Count me in! I might need some assistance getting ready, but I'm sure a good neighbor will help me out!!

Thanks Crusher for coordinating this moving for us!

Several of us attended this parade two years ago (2011). It winds around many residental streets, (not a main throughway like most parades) . It was extremely crowded that time. People were packed in on both sides of the street.

Count me in!

Did you get that ladder painted yet ? ! ? !

I hope to be there if I make it back to town Wednesday night. Chances are pretty good.

 

[212sparky]

Almost time.

Jeff- I plan on being there. If anyone else is heading down from the southwest Ohio area, let's run together.

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

Remember Line-up at 0845.

[BSutter]

Sorry for the late notice:
Donnervetter and I plan to be there with an M35A2 and an M185A3.
That is all.

 

[Stewie]

Hah Sutter thought he was late. I will be heading over in the A3. Hopefully i can get in. if not i can still say hi.

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

Heck yea, we'll squeeze you guys in !
Either that or you can take my place and I'll go home and get out of the rain

 

[BSutter]

Jeff, you can't skate, I have a rain suit or poncho for ya, your choice.

 

[donnerwetter58]

We had a great time doing this today.
I'm fortunate we stayed dry. It rained the entire parade, much heavier towards the end. A good turn out of spectators despite the rain. Candy flowed with the water in the gutters.
Count me in next year.

 

[BSutter]

The weather was beautiful.
A balmy 73° with 100% humidity.
The crowd was enthusiastic.
After my comment last night about Crusher skating I was ready to bail this morning.
I am glad that I did not.
Would I do it again?
You bet your bottom dollar I will.

 

[jw4x4]

Yes it rained on the parade. But it didn't dampen the spirits one bit. Happy Independence Day America!! Truck count was 5 deuces and 3 939 series.

 

[BSutter]

Thank you for the photos.
That Dodge Police car is an excellent specimen.

As mentioned, it rained the entire parade, but it didn't dampen the fun!!

Thanks to Crusher for coordinating this event.
