Friday July 3rd
This website is run by YOUR Westchester Park, Park Advisory Board (PAB). I am Dan Mohler, President of the PAB and I am running point for a successful day in the parade. Please return to this website all week for current information.
Feel free to contact me at - westchesterpab@gmail.com
The objective of Westchester Park in the parade, is to make the parade watchers realize there is SO MUCH going on in Westchester Park.
Thank you for helping us promote our great park.
FINAL INSTRUCTIONS-
Out of 48 parade entries, we will be the 46th to start walking. The Parade starts at 11am so I am asking you to find our launch position no later than 11:20.
We will launch from Quadrant A, North side of Manchester Avenue, West of Loyola Blvd. Basically right in front of the Chase Bank. This is where we were last year. We will be the LAST group to leave from Quadrant A. Look for the red corvette and the vertical Westchester Lacrosse banner.
Participant parking is available at the LMU Hannon Lot (Also known as Lot A. To get to this parking lot you must enter LMU from Lincoln Blvd (The Fountain). NO CARS WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER OR EXIT AT THE LOYOLA BLVD ENTRANCE/EXIT OF LMU: Tell security you are with WESTCHESTER PARK to get access to the campus. You have to wind around campus to get to this lot. See map below. Once you’ve parked, you walk south down Loyola Blvd. to the start of the parade (3/4 of a mile). The parade finishes in that parking lot (Group shot above is in the Hannon Parking lot).
The order we will walk in-
-
Horizontal banner for Westchester Park
-
Red Corvette
-
Skateboarding
-
Green wagon with the speaker (Need a volunteer to pull this wagon)
-
Zoomba
-
The Rest TBD
Please stay together with your group. It's easier for parade watchers to know the activity you are representing if you stay in your group.
I have two more park banners I want carried along side of us so that once the front banner has passed, we are still identifying Westchester Park. I will need two volunteers to carry those two light weight banners
If you're walking with children please wear something festive, if not something that says "Westchester Park".
Hydrating starts the night before, and over breakfast.
Historically the parade organizers have water stations along the parade route.
Check the weather forecast, sunscreen and the right hat might be needed.
