Keep The Pace: The Parade route is not strenuous, and the Parader units are expected to keep pace! They point out that we lose audience where there are gaps between units. If you wish to just view the Parade and not march - go for it - you now know the route and the times and how to get there! Rep. Masin will be riding one of these bikes - see below! It is a Blackbird Quadribent bike.  This family-friendly side-by-side bike is made in Burnsville (in our OWN district! by design engineer Jim Black. This stable, comfortable bike allows 2 or more people, even those with physical challenges, to ride, and it even has room for Blackbird Bikes Spokesdog Charlie Brown! ... No that is NOT Sandy Masin in the picture :-), but come to the Parade tomorrow and you'll be able to see Rep. Masin ride on of these great bikes. UPDATE! Rep. Masin and Jim Black went on a test ride and here is a picture from that occasion! Bring a Hat - Protect yourself from Sun Exposure: You know best your sensitivity - take care of yourself and have fun! The Fun after the Fun: DFLers will have a picnic at the Pavillion just north of the Community Center immediately following the Parade. Masin folks are bringing side dishes (but please feel free to just come and eat if it's too much to bring a dish to pass around AND march in the Parade - there is always PLENTY of food!!) Come and Enjoy!!! Sincerely, Sandra Masin » Return |
