Fernie, we'll have to make a sign

Huntington Beach July 4th Parade

Is that the Nisei Week Festival Parade? If so that is held in August

At the Board Meeting (March 30th) Scott Wolcott told the group he was putting in the application for the CHG's spot in the parade. I talked to Ron Lane after the meeting, and he shared that Walter Ehlers would be a possible quest in the halftrack again. There was talk that last year was his last event, but this was only talk. Either way the event is a go!

Talking with Don Lane, Walter Elther is coming out again, and Stan Wolcott is going to dress up as George S. Patton

We could have some of both

The parade starting time will be 10:00 a.m. on Friday, July 4. We suggest that all participants arrive not later than 8:00 a.m. at the Seacliff Shopping Center just north of the intersection of Yorktown Avenue at Goldenwest. Since Yorktown is closed, we’ll meet just north of our traditional meeting place at the parking lot containing the McDonald’s and Orchard Supply Hardware. Turn into the parking lot from Goldenwest near the signal at the intersection at the next street north of Yorktown (unnamed street). We will then “convoy” to the parade mobilizing area in period vehicles which will participate (the half track, but not a good idea to ride on the hull of the tank). We are limited to these two vehicles. If you miss the convoy, go to the check-in area at Orange and 7th, where you will be directed to CHG’s position.
