Edna's Fourth of July plans
This, from Team Woods:
Good morning to you all!
It is time for me to get my act together and plan the Fourth of July adventures for the B2P ride!! I am hoping we will have a lot of interest again this year. Last year we raised around $2500.00.
Just to refresh everyone's memory... we had 5 great prizes, the people bought a card of tickets, and then deposited the tickets in the containers corresponding with the prizes they hoped to win. This year I will have to be more creative with the prizes... Soooo, I am looking for some interesting donations....if any of you have contact with a company or individual who would like to make a donation, please let me know.
The parade is just a couple of miles long, through downtown Merrimack, and finishing at the midway at the high school. We had 10 or 12 "Team Woods" cyclists last year, and others who walked along handing out the blue Parkinson's bracelets, and flyers about the ride. I think the parade began around 11. If you are interested in joining us, please let me know.
We will be setting up two booths this year at the midway......one for the Raffle, and one for the children's games. We do a little fishing game for small children, with a prize for every child. There is no charge to play the game, but a container is there for donations to Parkinson's. At any rate, I will need volunteers to work the booths from noon until 8 p.m.. At that time we will pick the winning raffle tickets. At the midway there are games to play, and booths selling all sorts of food, ice cream, etc.. There is music, and sometimes dancing in the evening......plus a great fireworks display once it gets dark.
Please let me know if you would be able to help out.
Once I know what the prizes will be, the tickets will be ready for sale......I know a lot of you sold them for us last year. I will keep you posted on that.
Hopefully you all already know that the ride is Sept. 13th this year......and we have been promised no rain!!
Looking forward to hearing from you all!!
God bless! And keep cycling!
