12/3/2016 Alexandria Scottish Christmas Walk

Scottish Christmas Walk in Alexandria, VA (across the Potomac River from DC)

Saturday, December 3, 2016.

Once again Clan Ramsay is putting the call out to all Star Wars costumers. This will be the fifth year I have donned “Santa Vader” for the walk.

Another great turnout of costumers from the area last year, with almost a dozen “actual” Ramsay Clansmen in attendance.

One of the three founders of the City of Alexandria, was a Ramsay.

Can we get more characters trooping this year? I'm calling out everyone!

Arrive by 9am, ready to walk by 10am. Less than ¾ of a mile.

The Scottish Christmas Walk Parade
Starting at 11:00 AM
Enjoy more than 100 marching units filled with the magnificent tartans of Scottish Clans, the stirring sound of Scottish bagpipes and drums, Scottish dancers, re-enactment groups, Scottie dog groups, dignitaries, classic cars, Santa Claus, and much more. The 44th annual Scottish Christmas Walk Parade begins at St. Asaph and Wolfe Streets and concludes at Market Square.

Earliest arrival is 9am.

Be ready by 10am.

Walking at 11am.

Last year we were at F Block. I'll post the location when I get it.

So you can get familiar with the area:
Our parade queue was at "Block F" on Wilkes St. between S. Royal St. and S. Pitt St.

We will of course have noms again afterwards at Southside 815, at 1:30pm.

Parking is just behind, hidden in an alley. So if you park here, you'll be at your car when we're all done. Wink

I recall there was one around Christmas that was kid friendly (as in costumed children were welcome with us) is this one that?

Yes, if you were costuming/walking with us, and had a child in costume as well, that would be fine.

David,

Got the approval please include me on the list for the parade and lunch!

Putting everyone’s goodie-bag together. Yes, there will be Andes mints again. Wink

This being the fifth anniversary of Santa Vader (…with an amazing entourage of characters in the parade), I have some very cool exclusive Stawaz schwag in the works for everyone. Cool

List (above) updated. If I have you on the lunch list and ARE NOT coming to the lunch afterwards, please let me know.

Ooops! Kimberly and I both picked up stuff… so the goodie bags now have twice as many goodies!

A reminder that instead of all of your blasters, gaffi, lightsabers, etc., you will be carrying candy-cane versions. We have twice the numbers signed up this year which is awesome!! Please let me know what costume you will be wearing so I can make something appropriate. I currently have thirty-two made up. ;-)
