[Bmcu] Miner's Day Parade Sept. 3

[Gary Lindstrom]

Park City Miner's Day Parade - A Tradition!

Some years ago the BMCU entered the Miner's (Labor) Day Parade in Park 
City. Three cars showed, and after the harassing of the Rotary Club 
people that we should spend more time recruiting members and less time 
in parades, a fourth BMCU member joined the parade. From that point we 
referred to the event as the three and a half BMCUer's Parade.

And with that a tradition was born.

Each year the BMCU participates in the Park City Miner's Day Parade, and 
each year we arrive with more cars than the previous. The embarrassment 
has long been forgotten and the event has become one of the main 
attractions for our club.

Once again we will participate in the event, and we would like to see a 
larger, and more enthusiastic group than in past years. We would like to 
show the Rotary that we did indeed recruit. Last year we honored the 
City of Park with around 25 cars; we would like to see 40 this year, and 
we cannot do it without your participation!

The date is September 3!

The place is the top of Main Street, Park City!

The time is 10:00 AM for an 11:00 AM parade down Main Street to the City 
Park.

As in the past, we will have "reserved Parking" at the park for a mini 
car show and picnic. Bring your food and beverage or buy it there. The 
Rotary will have burgers and dogs, soft drinks and beer. I will have a 
few bottles of Two Buck Chuck.

Let the BMCU show up in force! Let us dominate the parade with volume. 
Let us impress the local gentry with some great British engineering. Let 
us have a good time!
