FAMU Parade Tomorrow

Help us celebrate FAMU's Homecoming by joining the Leon County Democratic Party in FAMU's 2007 Homecoming Parade!

In 2006, several Leon Democrats joined Alex Sink, Daryl Jones, Skip Campbell, and local elected officials as they walked FAMU's parade route for their campaigns. This Saturday, November 3rd, the Party has its own entry and all Leon Democrats are welcome to join in! If you haven't participated in the FAMU Homecoming parade before, this is definitely something you won't want to miss! We'll have our Leon County Democratic Party banner, a vehicle decked out with FAMU decorations, and walkers passing out candy and Leon Dems lapel stickers to parade goers.

Logistics:

- We'll be meeting at the Cars/Trucks Staging Area, at the corner of W Georgia and Old Bainbridge facing east along W Georgia. Look for the blue Toyota Prius and/or the white Leon County Democratic Party banner.

- Please arrive at the staging area at 7:30am SHARP, giving yourself enough time beforehand to find a parking space and locate your fellow Democrats.

- Parade Route: The parade will begin in Frenchtown at the intersection of Macomb and Georgia Street. We'll travel south on Macomb to Tennessee; east on Tennessee to Monroe; and south on Monroe to Gaines. The parade will officially end at the corner of Monroe and Gaines.

- Prior to joining the parade, you will be asked to sign a Release of Liability form.

- Wear Orange and Green if at all possible! And since we're representing the Leon Democratic Party, please dress appropriately... for example, no torn t-shirts or jeans. Our participation is a privilege as well as an opportunity for us to show our support for FAMU, and so this is not an occasion to make a political statement. With this in mind, please do not wear any clothing with controversial messages - regardless of how truthful the message may be.

Participating in the FAMU Homecoming parade is always a lot of fun and there's no better way to spend your Saturday morning. If you'd like to join us, please RSVP to LeonDems@yahoo.com so that we have an idea of the size of our group.

We hope to see you there, and thanks for everything you do for the Party.
