Memorial Day Parades (retrospective)
We have reports from all three Memorial Day parades now. Harrington Park was well-run and easy. Cresskill requested cars for transport but they used a truck instead; still, we showed off with three Relics and one pair of people in a big classic Caddy convertible who we invited to the show and to the next meeting. Rochelle Park had no issues, as usual. Bergenfield demanded we show up by 12:30 pm “sharp” but gave us the wrong street and failed to tell us we were supposed to come up from the other side of Church Street, and then didn’t give us enough space, even parked far too close together. We lost one or two members that we know of—who saw the mess and gave up. Steve Kott was amazingly patient given that they were busy sending him up and down the area when I showed up and we got to be sent back and forth together. The parade we had to arrive at 12:30 “sharp” for didn't move until 2 pm, and we were the very last people, behind the Lamb of God loudspeaker truck. We had six cars, including Barry, who was up front carrying one of the organizers.
