We have a couple spots left, let’s make it a good showing. PLEASE let me know by the Feb 18th, so I can register the club.

We paid the fees two years ago when some members were interested, before Covid shut them down for two years. Those Fees are not returnable if we don’t participate this year, and to help cover the rising costs we will have to pay an additional $50 if there are Corvairs in the parade. So, this is to ask who is interested in participating in the parade?

We can have up to 10 cars. It would be nice to have at least one of each model/style there. We would probably need at least 4 cars to make a good showing. After the parade, we could meet somewhere for lunch, maybe away from the crowds.

Immediately before the parade, the “5K on St. Patrick’s Day” Race will be held at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Wee Leprechaun Fun Run at 11:00 a.m. Both races start at Acacia Park. The 50K Bike Ride is still happening, but we have split it into 2 weekends. The Family Ride will be on Parade Day and the Challenging and Intermediate Rides will be held on March 19th.

To eliminate gaps and to speed up the Parade, youngsters must now ride on floats or vehicles and may not march. Also no baby strollers, or kids in wagons ---_it’s_just_not_safe_for_them! We do this because the weather is iffy this time of year, and we want to speed up the parade a bit for the safety and comfort of everyone!

Entry fee for political candidates is $150.00. ONE Candidate per Entry! Candidates must ride in a vehicle to eliminate gaps in the parade. Parade is a “Hand-wave” event. Signage is limited to 1 lead banner and 2 campaign signs no larger than 3’ x 3’.

The St. Pat’s Parade and Events are not put on by the City, and we must raise all the dollars to pay the expenses. Our police & city services bill for the day is now nearing $25,000.00! Without your parade entry fee, the Race Entry Fees, the Ride Entry Fees and our Sponsors, this parade would not be possible!
