Neil Ferguson
Vero Beach Christmas Parade
Thanks for coordinating the VBPS entry into the upcoming parade. I
understand that it will be happening on 12/1/2012. I hope we can get more than
a dozen boats on floats/trailers entered this year. The attached is the entry
form that needs to be submitted.
I had a few thoughts that I will share with you. We VBPS have done this in the past. We have
a lot of banners, flags and so on, in the back room that could be displayed on
the boats.
One boat in particular that I really appreciate and hope we
can get is the African Queen that is owned by Jim Crawfis.
We also have a lot of posters that were created by various
kids, which came about from the Boarman poster contest. They are on top of the
file cabinet in the education storage room. I would like to use them to
decorate a float yet to be created.
As you may know USPS will celebrate its 100-year Anniversary
in 2014 and I would like to propose we make this coming boat parade theme “
United States Power Squadron 100 Years in the Making” – brought to you by the
Vero Beach Power Squadron
Here is a link to some ideas that were dreamed up on the 100
Year Celebration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyWUT7ySAQg&list=UUwvGGe8FI56EKxFoIcSUYGQ&index=2&feature=plcp
