[mako my day]

Not mine.

I may completely get it covered in mud and pull the doors, or go classy and clean. Not sure yet.
Wreath on the front for sure, and the kids will be tossing candy canes.

Same thing I was thinking (except for the taking doors off).

 

[Nimrod]

I Need A Big Naxja flag or a big magnet/ stickers or something to plaster our lead jeep with.

I'll be picking up a banner from GSequoia as soon as he gets it out of storage. After that, unless someone else wants to deal with it, I'll work on rigging it to my roof rack. If someone else has a better idea, or wants to deal with it, I'll be very happy to turn it over. But please speak up soon so I don't spend any time and money rigging up supports and such.

 

[mako my day]

Thankyou!!!!! I'm working on some sticker signs as well.

 

[Nimrod]

Cool. I'll try to avoid using 2x4s or duct tape, so it'll look good.

 

[mako my day]

Can the banner face forward? The TV crews film from the front.

 

[Nimrod]

That's the plan.

 

[JohnX]

Front stroker digs on asphalt are cool right?

 

[mako my day]

Hell yeah

 

[mako my day]

We're all set. Entry group #99. Our "Step On" time is 10:45. The course is 1.1 miles and will take 30-32 minutes. Then we just head off from there.
We will meet at spot close to the staging area at 10 am.

Don't dress up as Santa Claus. He will be 3 entries behind us.

There will be TV coverage, so don't flip off the cameras, lol.

I'll be emailing details and directions to our meeting point. Parking lots are within a mile if you are towing.

Rain or shine, the parade still goes on.

 

[WAZZUXJ]

Working on Jeep theme and getting my GF and her twin sister to dress up toss candy from the Jeep. They didn't say anything about dressing up as Ms. Claus. lol

 

[Nimrod]

There's a good selection of tinsel and bows and cra.... stuff at Big Lots. Not terribly expensive. I just loaded up on ... stuff with which to dress up the Jeep.

I'm not going use any electrically powered decorations, but I'll bring along an AC/DC converter that plugs into a cigarette lighter if anyone wants to use it for Christmas lights or an inflatable elf or something.

 

[peterjford]

My Christmas lights are battery/solar, but not really bright enough to be seen in the day.

 

[Nimrod]

I'll be emailing details and directions to our meeting point.

Thanks for taking the lead on this, Mako. As our de facto parade Jefe, I suggest that you designate a CB channel and two-meter frequency to help us find each other in the morning and to talk smack during the parade and such. I'll go a step further and suggest you designate the usual frequencies: CB channel 4, with 14 as a backup in case 4 is congested, and 146.585 simplex for the two-meter users. Just a suggestion.

 

[JohnX]

Great idea, I'll be on .585

 

[bajaxj1]

This is going to be fun. Kids can't wait, they're really excited.
