2018 Parkville 4th of July Parade, Wednesday July 4th, 9am

Post by Marlow Main »

:wave: Parkville 4th of July Parade - Wednesday, July 4th, 2018 :wave:

This is our 10th year participating in the Parkville 4th of July parade. :thumbsup2:

A big Thank You to Samar for designing grill badges/stickers for event and to Baron for providing them.


About the drive:
This is an extremely slow moving (parades speeds), family friendly, all age, event and everyone is invited to attend. If you would like attend, please reply to this thread with the number of MINIs/Minis and peeps.

Line up and Route Information: ( We are #14 in the line up, behind 'Rucker for Missouri and in front of "Jeff Pross" )
The Parade line up starts at 9:00 am and the parade begins about 10:00 am-ish. The theme this year is “Broad Stripes and Bright Stars".
For those of you are new to this event, set your GPS to 6300 NW Bell Rd, Parkville, MO 64152. There will be a parade volunteer that will point you to a general assembly point for the group and tell us who we follow in the parade. I will be there with the Hyper Blue/White 06 MCS with the blue wheels. The parade route is southbound on 9 Highway, to Main Street through downtown Parkville. The parade ends at the bottom of Main Street at the rail road tracks and loops back to 9 Highway via the parking lot of English Landing Park. (We usually meet up afterward in the parking lot of the Parkville Athletic Complex at 6014 on 9 Highway, to chat for a bit).

There are just a couple of parade safety rules that the police officers strictly enforce:
1) once the parade starts, you must stay in your car
2) spectators are not allowed to approach the cars
3) no candy throwing - you can have some one walk the route and pass out candy

Some things that you may want to bring:
• detailing kit
• decorations – if you choose to decorate your MINI/Mini
• water / something cool to drink
• snacks
• sunblock
• camera

And conveniently I got broad stripes on my car so I’m going to get some red white and blue stars to put on them.

To mark the 10 year anniversary of the MINIs in the Parkville July 4th parade, Samar designed a grill badge/sticker for the participants.
A big thank you to Samar for his creative skills and to Baron for providing them. Our club is very fortunate that we have a supportive dealership! :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2:

I also have the line up, we are #14 in the line up, which is behind #13 -Rucker for Missouri and in front of #15 Jeff Pross).

See you all on the 4th!
Thanks You
