Santa Claus Parade in Guelph – all welcome!
Friday, October 30th, 2009The 31st Guelph is entering a float (Hay Wagon) themed “Scouting with Snoopy”, consisting of a dog house, Charlie Brown Christmas tree and Snoopy riding in a canoe. We are getting most of the youth to wear yellow t-shirts over their jackets to represent Woodstock.
We will be putting the float together Friday November 13th, 7 pm at 355 Elmira Rd Unit 136 (Go around the back of the building) if anyone is interested in helping.
Any group that is interested in walking (some room for riding) is welcome to join us. Please bring flags/banners to add flare to the walk. I will forward where and what time we are gathering before the parade. [The 29th Guelph has joined in already – let’s get a HUGE participation from Wellington this year, to showcase Scouting Fun!! ]

Please arrive at 9:15 am, in full uniform at the new City Hall front doors. Blue pants preferred, but jeans are okay, so long as the jeans have no holes.
Please bring your section flags, if you have them.
The parade will march to Sleeman Centre for the ceremony inside, and then please regroup behind Sleeman Centre to reform the parade in the laneway. Then the parade marches on Woolwich towards the Cenetaph to salute.
