Parkville 4th of July Parade - Tuesday, July 4th, 2017

Post by Marlow Main »

Would anyone like to participate in the Parkville 4th of July Parade - Monday, July 4th, 2017?
I would be happy to coordinate.

This is an extremely slow moving (parades speeds), family friendly, all age, event and everyone is invited to attend. Please reply to this thread with the number of MINIs/Minis and peeps.

Line up and Route Information:
The Parade line up starts at 9:00 am and the parade begins about 10:00 am-ish. The theme this year is “Never Forget”. 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

Oops....change in plans. Richard and I will NOT be there - we forgot that we had promised to attend my granddaughter's 4th of July bicycle parade in their subdivision this year.

See you next year!
