The Friends of Blue Spring are partnering once again with Save the Manatee Club and we'll have Hope, the luscious inflatable manatee, on her float.
We need volunteers to walk, ride and hand out stickers along the parade route.
PREP LOGISTICS:
Anyone interested in helping with float preparations, please join us on Friday, December 8th from 2:00 to 4:00pm at the park's maintenance shop.
PARADE DAY LOGISTICS:
Saturday, December 9th:
Please join us as we place all the final touches on the fire truck, Hope's float and the kabotas from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in the park at the shop.
We will travel as a group on Saturday December 9th to the starting location at 4:00pm. Please plan for us to be finished by 8:00ish as we will need to breakdown the float and trailer back in the park.
Please wear fun apparel with themes of Christmas/holiday, gingerbread, manatee or ranger/volunteer uniforms!

This would not be a first for me. The first was with the Florida Defenders of the Environment (Marjorie Harris Carr’s legacy) in Melrose. I held on to a boat railing for part of the time. The parade was slow enough I could wheel along side…
Same idea for this one…
