Ouch TG! How did you manage to do that? I hope it heals quickly.

I received our participant's info packet from the Doo Dah.

TIME:
Meet no later than 10:30 AM.

FORMATION AREA:
The formation area is in Memorial Park in Old Pasadena. It is located on Raymond Avenue between Walnut and Holly. It's 2 blocks north of Colorado Blvd. Be sure to get there early so you don't get caught in traffic when the crowds arrive.

Remember, our unit is first in the parade because we're with Queen Cherry. It has been suggested that each group bring some kind of flag that can be easily found in the formation process. Bax has a lovely little sail that would work nicely, but I wonder if we will need it if we know we are at the head of the line.

MEDIA:
Reporters from TV and newspapers will be roaming the staging area. Last year the parade was featured on all evening news and three early morning network news programs, CNN and some other international outlets. That's another reason for you to get there early, oh hammy ones.

PARKING:

They suggest that you drop off any sound equipment, floats, props with group members in Memorial Park before parking your car.

Free parking above Walnut Street, north of the staging area. Other parking is available on the streets and in parking structues throughout the vicinity.

ROUTE:
The parade begins at Holly and Raymond, proceeds South on Raymond, then West on Colorado.
