Therefore, the booth is now an information booth. We will need a least one brother to man the booth in the morning while we prepare the float and ride it in the parade. Afterwards it will be "all hands on deck" to man the booth that afternoon. Our float staging area is Lewisville Middle School. Our starting position is #95. We have to be at the staging area at 8:45 am. No one will be admitted to the assembly area after 9:15 am. The parade begins at 10:00 am. Our information booth is located at # M-20 - the last booth on the left of the third row down from the Laurelwood Brew Pub See you on Saturday (the 16th).
