This year our parade float will be a tropical island theme. We will have a Gilco truck with hay bales around the outside (to keep everyone from falling off). We would like to play the song "Christmas in the Islands" loudly from the float. The kids (and hopefully adults too) will wear either Hawaiian shirts (large enough to fit over their coat) or a brightly colored shirt (also over the coat) and a Santa hat, maybe even sunglasses. I would like to get a couple inflatable palm trees. We can use blue Christmas lights on the side of the float, so it looks like water. The kids can hold either fishing poles or fish made out of cardboard.
There is a meeting on Thursday the 19th at 4:30 to work on planning the float. Everyone who wants to help is welcome to come! We won't be actually decorating until a day or two before the parade because that is when Gilco can provide the truck.
Before the pack purchases the items we need, I wanted to ask if anyone had items that they would be willing to donate (see list below). If you do, please let me know by Sunday evening.
small generator
a way to play loud music from the truck
lights (preferably blue)
inflatable palm trees (I know...this is a long shot)
cardboard
paint
fishing poles
santa hats
The parade is on the first Saturday in December, the 5th in the evening.
Thank you!!!
Mary
