Syra, NY Grape and Wine Parade!

Hey Everyone!

The 54th Annual Grape & Wine Festival Grande Parade is being held on Saturday, 24 September, and again Young Jedi Niagara will be in the parade and of course all the regional chapters of Fanforce, the 501st and the Rebel Legion are invited to join us!

Last year we had an impressive turnout and we hope for an even better one this year!

This years theme is ?Musical Moments to Remember?

More details will follow but here is a heads up:

Saturday, 24 September, 2005 from 8:00 AM until whenever.
Parade start is 11:00 am, depending on where we are in the parade we are usually finished by around 1:00 pm
Cost: $10

The fee is to cover the rental of our set up area, but we are unsure whether we are using the school again for gathering/changing/eating. We will be providing food and drink. Any "profit" will go directly to our charity, Women's Place St. Catharines, along with unused food.

More details are to come including hotel information, crash space information, detailed directions and the like. What we need right now is a basic head count of who is interested.

Please PM me or Sabia_Ronit with any questions.

 

If we are available the Sherrill clan will probably attend this. We go every year and its probably the biggest gathering of Star Wars fans for a parade within 1-day trip range. Its also quite well organized and the 'locals' are friendly.

 

oh good, it'll be nice to see you again! I booked the whole weekend off work a few months ago just to make sure I can get there.

 

Ok, I am in.

I might get my parents to come.

saves on gas.

besides they can have fun.

 

Will be glad to have you again Beezel!

Hey guys!

Just an update on whats going on!

Firstly, we are changing the location of the meetup from last year. We will have directions and such, but many will be happy to hear that though its further from the parade start its VERY close to the parade end.

Secondly, we are doing the pot luck again so feel free to bring some food!

Lastly we will need a rough head count soon for getting the infamous beef and bun thats been very well recieved in years past.

Getting closer and I hope you all are just as excited as we are!

I missed it last year due to work and other crud going on but this year Im going for sure!!!!!

 

oye! Its family weekend the same weekend at my sons college. Not sure what we're doing now LMAO

 

if anyone wants to meet up here in Rochester, we can carpool from here

 

At this point I'm still expecting our clan to be there. Probably just Arjuna, Raef, and myself from Sherrill.

Well, I spoke with my son and he'd much rather spend our family weekend together in canada in the parade.... so I guess we're still going!!!!! YAY !!!

 

Really?

Thats awesome! lol Go Canada!

 

Spoke with Arjuna last night. He will be working Friday night, so we will be coming up early Saturday Morning. We may have room for 1 in the car if someone needs a ride and its not too far out of our way.

 

^^ What he said. I'll be marching in my usual Sith costume...

 

Hey guys! Thank you for the updated head count. If we can get that finalized that would be great so that we can set up food stuffs and make sure we have room.

Had a great time at G&W with ya! Nice to see you all again.

I hope you've been practicing with those shoestrings Andrew, I feel a rematch coming on.

 

it was nice to put faces to names, but for me it didn't stick. I still know faces and names, but for most people, can't put them together yet.

 

I'm gald I'm not the only one still trying to get that straight.

 

So what happened to Strawbary? We missed her!

 

I second that!
