[Namron] Norman Mardi Gras Parade

Wed Feb 6 07:24:55 PST 2013

Viva le bon esprit!  It is awesome that SCA and AOA are joining Medieval Fair Cast & Volunteers at the parade!

Only one person from the parade entry has to check in at 5:30 at the Santa Fe Depot.  Trust me it will be chaotic enough there.  The parade entry fee is already paid.

We won't know what number we are in the parade until that evening.  However the parade line-up starts at Main and Comanche.  Medieval Fair will leave one person posted at Main & Comanche to tell everyone else where we are in the lineup.

Following are a few details.  More information is available at the parade website http://www.normanmardigrasparade.com/index.html.

Parking
E. Main, Jones, Peters, Crawford at Main and Comanche at Jones will close at 6:30. Enter from S. Crawford. PLEASE USE THE PARKING LOTS OFF PETERS. DO NOT PARK IN THE STREET, ON JONES OR CRAWFORD SOUTH OF MAIN OR ON COMMANCHE. This will allow the best flow of traffic along the route. The best parking for parade participants is in the Arvest Parking Lot at S. Peters and Comanche. Bands are encouraged to set up behind Bison Witches, then roll into line moving south on Crawford...

Judges Categories The judges will be stationed at Main and Crawford. Plan your most enthusiastic business for the judges. NEW* Best Movers and Shakers (dance krewe), NEW*Chewbaccus - Sci-Fi~ non-petroleum, Best Marchers, Best Music, Best Lights, Norman's Wackiest Family, Best Unidentified Rolling Object, Best Doggie Gras, Norman Spirit Award (theme), and The Flannigan Award (Best overall parade entry).  (Last year we won Best Marchers!)

Awards!
Join us at the Performing Arts Studio (check in) at 8:30 for music, awards and bon esprit (joy). Park your ride in the parking lots out of the streets and join us!

Sincerely (58 days until Medieval Fair),

Greetings all!
Don't forget everyone that we will be marching in the Norman Mardi Gras parade. If you cannot march, there will also be some space for people to ride on the Medieval Fair float. The parade starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday February 9. We will need to line up at 6:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity to get our name out there. We need people to dress in their best garb and bring banners to carry. I am ordering 60 dozen assorted colored beads for us to throw and I will probably also pick up some candy for us to throw as well. Anyone who wants to donate a few dollars to the bead and candy cause would be appreciated. Please bring baskets to carry the beads and candy in. Also, I want to try something new with the beads and candy this year. I want to attach an SCA information card to them so that the people who get them get our information. Finally, Orlando Giovanni Di Gilead and I will host an after parade mardi gras themed party at our house. Please bring a snack and/or drink to share for the party. We look forward to seeing you all there!
YIS,
Baronessa Caterina
