We'll be meeting in the parking lot East of the Hotel / Convention center . The parking lot is by the intersection of Ellsworth Jones Pl. and Male Ave. South.

I'm shooting for arrival at 8:30.

The parade runs from this general area down to Spring St. It's maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of a mile.

    I wouldn't mind carrying a flag, I'll probably holster my blaster though, just for looks : ) Good idea Chris !

    I think that if we do what we did at the Ballston Spa parade, it should be pretty good, regardless of how long the parade takes. If we get there early and walk around like an "opening act", we can spend a decent amount of time amongst the townsfolk.

    I think that as TK's we should leave the guns and each get a large flag on a pole and harness it in our holsters. and walk around with these big flags. Rest it in the holster and hang on it with one hand. It would make a great pic for the paper

    •  Has a blast. The weather held out and was perfect. I was glad to see such a great turnout this year. Hopefully next year we'll have a 3po and Boba Fett. R2 would be a huge hit but would have to be a bit more stationary. Perhaps if we contacted a local business there to advertise our attendence we could have a central location but just venture out a bit from there. All the while keeping that location as a gathering area. I would like to continue having a large presence there every year. Great job done by everyone. Thank you for attending and thankbyou Tim for keeping up with the organizing while Kevin and I couldn't. 
    •  Lots of fun for everyone! 
    •  Fun Fun Fun- Can never give away enough free flags!
