12/9: Mt Juliet Christmas Parade

mxpxrobbie (Robbie Amburgey) · Event starting Sat Dec 09, 2017 10:00 am for 5 hours

Hey folks, cross-posting this as the event organizers asked me if we had any 'good guys' who could come...

The parade is Dec 9 in Mt. Juliet, and as it is SW themed, they are looking to make us a focus, and have a Vader and a light-side character as Grand Marshals.

Any takers?

It's a long drive for me and I'm hosting a dinner that night so it'd be stretching me thin...but I am interested. I've got Leia and Jakku Rey, of course, and will hopefully have my TLJ Rey and Twi'lek Jedi done by then. Pretty willing to do any of them.

Interested. Hoth Leia is an easy one to wear for Christmas parades

Roster:
Robbie - Biker Scout
Eric - Stormtrooper
Scott - Tie Pilot
Anthony - Stormtrooper
Matt - Chewbacca
Andrew - X-Wing Pilot

Grand Marshals: (You will be in the bed of an F-350 pickup. To us, you are royalty)
Drew - Kylo
Leah - Leia

Parade Beginning (and meeting location):
West Wilson Middle School
935 N Mt Juliet Rd
Mt Juliet, TN 37122

Parade End:
1075 Charlie Daniels Pkwy
Mt Juliet, TN 37122

Parade route is from West Wilson Middle School to Charlie Daniels Park (3.5 miles). Parade starts at 11 - however we are to be ready to go, dressed at West Wilson at 9:30.

Plan is to get dressed at West Wilson Middle School. We will be indoors Smile

I will get dressed last to make sure everybody's set to go. My car will be parked at the end of the parade route so I can ferry people back to their cars (also we will have the pickup truck available to help with this)

Mt. Juliet Road will be closed before the parade, and will be super busy otherwise. Plan to take backroads if you can. I will be at the meeting point early with coffee if you happen to be there. It will be COLD so if you have cold weather underarmor, time to bust that out!

My number is 615-586-3255 if you need anything.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Awww, boo, Matt! Sad

I've decided to brave the drive and the cold and I'll be there as Rey.
