2016 Cincinnati Area Memorial Day Parade

2016 Cincinnati Area Memorial Day Parade
South suburb of Cincinnati (Florence, KY)- Monday May 30, 10 am


It's time to dust 'em off and fire 'em up.

If you would like to attend, feel free to respond here or send me a pm. I will be submitting the registration for our group and I need a rough estimate of attendees

For those of you that have attended in the past, the parade route is unchanged. The parade starts at Boone County High School and ends at the Government Center on Ewing Blvd.

Also, as always, there is a memorial ceremony at the conclusion of the parade. We are encouraged to display our vehicles at the end of the parade route during the ceremony. This is optional.


We have been participating in this parade since 2007. Here are links for our last 5 years:

I'll come along again this year Jeff.
For those wondering, this is the best local parade we do around here. A great turnout of spectators and a nice ceremony at the end.

I'll come along again this year Jeff.

Thanks Dave.

The VFW asked us to transport some veterans in the parade. Our plan is to be at the Florence VFW at 8am to begin preparing the truck, then loading the folks and making our way to the staging area.

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

I have secured verbal intentions to attend from Todd Haley and gimpy also. Last minute additions are still welcome!

As in years past, we are in group 400 in the staging area. This is directly in front of Boone County High School on RT. 18 (Burlington Pike) See map.

Please note the suggested arrival time of 9:15 am. I will try to be there at 9am to hold our place as it always gets congested as other groups arrive. Feel free to arrive early and hang out.

HUlk,

Should we save a space for you in our lineup/group, or do they have you in a different section of the parade?

 

[Spyderman]

I will be there early!

Hi Jeff, looks like we'll be able to come up with the M925A1, the one we had at Haspin in 2014. Thanks for getting this together, Chris.

Awesome. Have a safe trip up here Chris!
Did you ever find a spare tire?

 

[cwc]

No, I do still need a spare: Goodyear 14R20 AT-2A and wheel, does not need to be great tread, just roadworthy. I still need a side rail for the A1 as I posted before, but I actually have two of the fold-down seat parts in great shape I could trade, fiberglass with nice green paint. I could use a set of fuel tank supports too; they are still bent from tangling with that stump at Haspin.

Yes, please save us a place in line with the group. Looking forward to seeing all y'all.

It was good seeing everyone again(and meeting Spyderman).

The parade(and turn out) seems to get better each year!

 

[Spyderman]

I am glad I got to meet everyone. I had a good time.
