So briefly...I've been hijacked onto the Parade Committee for the Hudson Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association's Mardi Gras parade at their convention in Lake George this year. Because I don't know when to keep my BIG FAT MOUTH SHUT at meetings. Oh, and that "committee" ?? It's basically just me.
I've never ridden a float, let alone designed and built one. I need ideas...and I need em fast.
Anyone......? Anyone.....? Bueller.......? Bueller........?
Please keep in mind that I don't have an engineering degree and I'm a menace to society when it comes to power tools while you're suggesting float themes.
Thanks--
The Probie.
This is how Mel's company goes to calls as it is... when they get them that is...

Isn't the theme to the parade this year "rocking to the 50's"? I don't know if that will help at all, but unless I'm thinking of something else, I believe it is. I wish I had some ideas to give, but now that I know, that makes you the competition......I'm just kidding. Really though, I don't have any creative ideas for this which is why I didn't jump onto my departments committee for the same parade. In any case, it should be a good convention, I am definately hoping to attend. I have yet to attend an HVVFA convention, but everyone that I know that does go always tells me what a good time it is. Best of luck to you in this endeavor.
