Care to join us in the Pomona Holiday Parade?

Calling all Pomona bloggers and blog readers! We're putting together a float (well, probably more like a small pick-up truck) for the Pomona Holiday Parade. Care to join us? We need to submit the names of all the blogs that will be represented on the float by this Wednesday. Please shoot an e-mail to pomonaevents@gmail.com if you can join us. Here are the details:

Parade date: December 11

Time: We'll gather at 9AM in the south east parking lot at 3rd and Gibbs. Parade starts at 10AM.

What we'll do: We'll have a couple runners along side the pick-up handing out fliers and, if we can figure out how to pay for it, candy. The fliers will describe what a blog is and will list the names of all the blogs represented on the float. And, of course, we'll wave and look merry.

What to wear: We can discuss this later. But plan on wearing something. Perhaps we can all wear blues? Or maybe that rockin' t-shirt shop downtown can hook us up with some sweet Pomona Ps shirts (you know, the six Ps in the wagon wheel shape).

Holler back.

Darn, I'm already committed to being on the Friends of the Pomona Fox float. I'm there with you all in spirit though.

I haven"t written in a while, but I'm working on it, and I am very down.

(Maybe we can get a t-bird)...

Ren said...

Well I don't have a t-bird but I have a jeep that I can put the top down if we need it.

Hey hey! Welcome aboard, Ren. Jeep?! Let's do it!

Juan and Susie are going to make a banner. A couple of us can march with the banner in front of the jeep; others can walk along the jeep handing out fliers and candy (we need candy!); others can ride in the jeep. Woot!

Anyone have a line on a bunch of candy?

Welcome aboard bloggers!! I'm told the weather will cooperate for us this time. Due to possible safety issues we're not allowing any handouts along the parade route (don't want any children running into the path of horses or floats). You are welcome to hand out candy and fliers at the Holiday at the Plaza event however.

I'm stuck in youth soccer. Have a great time and post the pictures!

Metro Pomona, according to rule #5 posted on the Metro Pomona webpage, "Throwing items such as gifts or candy during the parade is prohibited. Handing out is okay." We'll just be handing out fliers and will thus be in compliance with the rules.
