Parade details - We're #39 in the line-up!

What: Walking as a Brownie troop for 3rd of July Parade

When: Thursday, 7/3/14, meet at 4:15 pm

Where to meet us BEFORE the parade:
Please meet us at Montpelier High School's parking lot where we will carpool over to Elm/Spring (the Meadow) where the Parade Booth check-in is.  (This will save on traffic jams in the Meadow).  We have to be at the parade booth to check-in between 4:30 & 5:00, so please be timely meeting us at the high school!

If you want to make other arrangements and meet us at the Parade Booth at Elm/Spring Streets at 4:30, then please let me know ASAP so we won't be waiting for you at the high school.  Please note our whole group must be present and sign-in together and will be expected to walk the entirety of the parade.

Where to meet us AFTER the parade:

We will gather together as a troop immediately after the parade at the beginning (close to State Street) of the main state house walkway that leads straight up to the State House's big front doors.  Please tell your Brownies to stay with the troop until we have gathered in this spot, even if parents are meeting up with us at the end of the parade.  It will make it easier to know Brownies are leaving with their parents if we are all in a main meeting place.

Each Brownie should bring:

• Her sash with all of her badges/patches and pins on it (please be sure to reinforce badges & patches with some stitching, as the iron-ons do fall off)
• Her own water bottle (labeled)
• Hat is recommended, but optional
  
• Arrive with sunscreen already on (we'll provide more before we start the parade, unless you have a specific kind you want your daughter to use, then please provide it, labeled).
• Snacks
• Permission slip to attend the parade (see attached)

We will provide:

• Health & emergency forms
• First Aid Kit
• Additional Sunscreen
• Extra water kept in a cooler
• Flag that the Brownies made on the camping trip
• Activities for the Brownies to do while we wait for the parade to start (songs, possibly make posters for the parade)
• We will have access to a bathroom if needed before the parade starts

The parade starts immediately after the Montpelier Mile Road Race (around 6:00).  So please remember snacks, as the parade is quite long and girls may get hungry (we won't be eating during the parade).  If raining, please have the girls wear appropriate rain gear and bring extra clothes with you so they can change with you after the parade. 

If you have any other thoughts, questions, comments, please let me know!

Thanks!
