New parade time!

[Will Gamwell]

I just remembered this little bit of information from the cast rehearsal.  Thought some would like to know.

The daily parade time has changed from 2:00 to 11:30.  The parade will begin at Backery stage as usual, but will end at th Arbor Stage.

I actually think this is a GREAT idea!  Past marches in the heat of the day near killed me once or twice.  Much cooler at 11:30!

[Will Gamwell]

Yeah, I didn't hear much complaint.  That was actually one of reasons given.  The other is that the 2:00 time is during the peak hours for number of paytrons and that the parade interipted a lot of stage acts.

That should be interesting....

We figure the parade will make it back to The Arbor by 12 Noon, which is time for post-Parade and then a fast jaunt over to Bare stage for Vil...

It will be interesting to see how this affects the rest of the grid (which hasn't been distributed yet).

[Charlotte Rowan]

Oh, that'll be nice. Usually I'm scheduled to get off work at 2, but since there's such a big crowd around Bakery Stage at that time, I usually never get to leave then.

[Lord Figaro]

Wow sounds like a smart move this time. Could there be more smart moves in the future?

[Kiss-me-Kate]

YAY!!!!

No more sweltering jaunts through fest!!!!

[Marietta Graziella]

*MG jumping happily*

Yea!  Here's hoping I get to do the parade again.  That was fun last year!

[Rage]

Yeah, I am up for getting into the parade again... How is the question.

[groomporter]

Maybe the Fest Friends group should ask if they can do the parade?  It might give them a little more visibility to the rest of the patrons.

[Lord Figaro]

I think that would be a great idea as well. A little self promoting so to speak. I know I'd love to do that again to. Just have to make sure the people walking for the group, aren't to over the top inebriated I would think.

[DeadBishop]

I still have the R/F flag if we want to do a group for the parade!  Who's up for it?

[Charles_of_Mankato]

Can Rachel and I be in the parade?? Or is it for employees only?

[groomporter]

Traditionally it's just participants, but last year the whole R/F crowd got an OK to be in it as part of the RENdezvous.
