[Peace-presence] Pots 'n' Pans in Parade!

[Paula McDonough]

CORRECTION:  The staging area for the Pots 'n ' Pans Brigade is 5th Street (between Va. and Center), not 6th.
We are in Zone 6 (the last portion of the parade), but we assemble on 5th Street. I think I'll claim SENIOR MOMENT on this one. You may call Penny Nelson-Aguilar at 334-2414 (City Parks and Recreation) to confirm.

  Molly Ivins POTS 'N' PANS BRIGADE



  The Molly Ivins POTS 'N' PANS BRIGADE will be marching in Reno's Fourth of July Parade this Wednesday at 10:00 am.  If you've ever harbored a secret desire to be part of that yearly parade honoring the principles on which our great nation was founded, this is your chance.

  Everybody is invited to come!  Bring a sturdy pot (or pan) and something unbreakable to beat with (such as a metal spoon).  The noisier, the better!  If you have earplugs, WEAR THEM (this is pretty close to mandatory)--if not, we do have a few extra pairs to lend.  

  Here are the particulars:

  WHERE:  Our staging area (there are several) is on 6th Street between Virginia and Center Streets (think old Dairy Queen).

  WHEN:  You MUST be there no later than 9:45am.  P 'n' P people will be there by 9:30.  I have no idea what traffic will be like or what parking will be available (check the newspaper?).  The parade starts at 10:00 and lasts about one hour.

  WHO:  Non-bangers are needed:  1) to carry the American flag,  2)  to hand out business cards that detail the weekly Tuesday event, and  3) to push a cart loaded with a large (60" high) 3-sided sign tethered to a heavy weight to keep it from sailing off in a brisk wind.  The sign will be pushed in a zig-zag pattern in front of the group and will require someone with a lot of energy and stamina.  Please call Gale at 544-0463.

  WEAR:  EAR PLUGS!  Comfortable shoes.  No flip-flops!  You'll be marching for one hour (but please feel free to drop out if your energy flags -- forgive the pun).  Red-white-blue (one color or in combination).

  BRING:  A bottle of WATER!!!  (Put it in your pants pocket or tie a string around the top and wear ir around your neck.)  Sun-screen.  A broad-brimmed hat.  Sun glasses.  (The high temperature on Wednesday is predicted to be 101 degrees, so the morning will be in the high 90's.)

  I hope to see you on Wednesday!
