All troops met at our house to suit up and walked the short distance to the parade lineup. We timed this perfectly as we arrived just as the parade steeped off . We walked with the Advocates for access group who were dressed as characters from Toy Story so this day we were portraying action figures . The main reason for walking with his group was to raise awareness for the wheel-a-thon that is Saturday Oct 8th. The parade route was average length and sparsely populated, but even with only 3 troopers we did get the normal great reactions from the crowd. I think the Winter Wonderland parade is "the" parade to do in Pekin. Plenty of photo opps at the end of the parade while awaiting our transport back to base, Belinda was our pilot for the journey.
Attendees:
Mark Berry - BH-4265 Boba Fett
Roland Batrouni- TK-4186 Was pending approval at this time
Belinda Berry- ID-5187 "shuttle pilot"
Jake Townsend was our Mando merc support
