Wranglers needed for Southbridge Memorial Day Parade
« on: May 15, 2008, 07:46:03 PM »
Hot off of the EC4WDA forum!!!

From XJMA:
I've been contacted by some parade coordinators in Southbridge, MA (just southwest of Worcester, not too far from CH) about basically providing chauffeur services for a hand full of older (>70 years old) veterans for the town memorial day parade!! UJ has helped out in the past but I'm not sure if we're going to be able to meet their needs this year (especially with such short notice). I guess they used to put the veterans that could no longer walk in vans, but topless jeeps are way cooler!! Bonus points for anyone with an MB or GPW all decked out WW II style!

The parade is obviously on Memorial Day, which is May 26th, a Monday. They like to get 8 to 10 wrangler owners. They take off the doors and tops and decorate them with a few flags. The parade starts at 8:30 and everything is over by 10:00 am.

If you're interested, post here to let us know and you can also call Andrew @ 774-696-2900 or email him at agresenz@aol.com, or email Cindy at Cakeyes56@aol.com

 :)

I sent emails to both of them, and I posted a reply request on the EC4WDA forum.  Hopefully someone will contact me, and I'll pass on any info I get.
