NLGA Outings -- Grand Old Day Parade

SAVE THE DATE!   SUNDAY, JUNE 2 is the GRAND OLD DAY PARADE!!

From www.grandave.com:

“Grand Old Day is the largest one-day festival in the Midwest, drawing over 250,000 people each year from the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area, regionally and from neighboring states. The event is held along Grand Avenue, Saint Paul’s premier shopping, dining, and entertainment district. The parade is the 2nd largest in the area with over 180,000 in attendance. The Parade will kick-off promptly at 9:30 am. The parade route begins at Dale and Grand then proceeds west along Grand to Fairview. Grand Avenue and all side streets are closed after 8:00 am.”

Just think…that’s a lot of people waiting to see greyhounds!!

To celebrate 40 years of Grand Old Days, the theme this year is Through the Decades 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s!

We are looking for creative ideas on how we can incorporate this theme. Please let us know your ideas! All the greyhounds will make an impact on the 180,000 in attendance no matter what, but imagine the impact we would make if we could come up with a really creative way to incorporate the theme! Mind blowing.

And some details:
Who:     ALL NLGA greyhounds and their people! More hounds, bigger impact!
What:    Grand Old Days Parade (with 180,000 people just waiting to see greyhounds!)
When:   Lineup is at 8:30 AM and the parade starts at 9:30 AM (Yes, it is an hour earlier than past years!)
Where:  Lineup is at Grand and Dale. Our lineup number is 9! The parade starts at Dale and goes to Fairview.
Why:     Because we want 180,000 people to see our NLGA Greyhounds!!
