Christmas Parade

I helped organized and participated in a Christmas Parade for the town of Greencastle, Pennsylvania on November 23rd. Verstandig Broadcasting was in charge of organizing the parade and getting the floats and participants in position. I was on scene at around 7:30 that morning and did not leave until around 11 the same morning.

I was tasked with helping arriving participants find their position in the parade. There were several participants that showed up with more vehicles than they had registered to bring and therefore took up more space than they were supposed to. This resulted in a very crowded and chaotic street before the parade even started. Once the parade began moving, we made sure all of the participants moved out in their designated positions and that they walked or drove at the appropriate pace. Once all of the other participants had gone, the 104.7 WAYZ van and the 101.5 Bob Rocks vehicle (Bob Force One/BFO) drove right in front of Santa's sleigh which was the final display of the parade. I rode in the BFO along with Manic (Crazy Bob) and threw candy out to the children. It was a great time.
