Pig Parade Meeting, 9-14-23

   I would like to extend a BIG THANKS to the 25 of you who came to to Thursday's meeting at the Harn Museum's cafe. Yes, I talked too much but what else is new?

Our ages ranged from 11 months to 81years.  It was an

Cartherine and Andreas brought five kids!

older crowd, we need to bring in younger folks make our event representative of G'ville. 

 

 

 As I mentioned, the fund-raising is going well and

 

 

our new website looks great.  Check it out, 

www.flyingpigparade.org.

 

 

Now it is time to encourage groups and performance artists to fill out applications (online).   Please consider entering a group of your own and encourage others to do so too.  Spread the word, that's how we put together a parade!  

Most of you at the meeting offered to be volunteers on the day of the parade.  If you have friends who would like to do this, ask them to fill our a volunteer application online (on our website).

 

Our fund-raising brunch will take place on Sunday, Nov. 5th, from 11:30 'til 1:30.  Chef Mark Newman,

former owner of Leonardo's 706, will be hosting this terrific event at his magnificent art museum/residence on Hogtown Creek.  Tickets are $75. Invitations will be sent out next week.

 

A typical room at Mark's place

The Hippodrome Theater will be allowing us to slowly drop a giant flying pig from their roof for the count down beginning the parade.  This'll be a fabulous way to begin the world's first flying pig

parade!

 

 

 

OK, I'm outta here.  Let me know of any ideas or suggestions you may have.

Glenn,

representing the New Parade Committee
