Bump for this one! This is a super fun community event, and the parade itself is relatively short and downhill. Last year we had a HUGE community turnout and people were lined up to take pictures with us in the park afterwards. Please think about joining if you have an open morning!

-
I’m going to switch to a tie pilot
-
Sarah is out

I think my plan is to park at the PD lower lot in the morning. I’ll be there around 0800 to get dressed. It takes 10 minutes to walk from PD to staging area.
That way when we are finished meeting fans at Millennium Park, those who need water or a ride back can jump in with me. It’s only a half mile from the PD to the staging area. Only a few blocks from Millennium to the PD.
-
Roster is good.
Leave this up for a few days, I’ll scour the web for photos. The City’s photographer was out there and spent some time on us.
-
Yes!!!!!!

Added a few more photos - apparently Dave's camera had issues and a bunch of stuff was blurry. Only 3 of our pics were good :sad:
