Chewy Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The New Haven St. Patrick's Day Parade is the??largest, single-day spectator event in the State of Connecticut, and one of our longest running troops. The weather forced us out of attending in 2019 but let's bounce back with a good showing in 2020! This post is a save-the-date. Further details will be posted in the run up to the event. Pictures from 2018:?? ?? ?? Topic is for discussion of event.?? To Sign up/RSVP for this event, please visit the calendar link:??

That's super.?? ?? Fair warning, the ST Patrick's day parade isn't really a "normal" troop.?? It can get long and the weather can be unpredictable i.e. too cold or wet etc.?? Wranglers would be carrying backpacks with water and snacks etc along with probably some supplies to repair kits. ?? Lots of sitting around and waiting.?? ?? I mean, we're happy to have as many hands on deck as possible, Just be aware that the parade isn't the standard. . Link to comment

I had a feeling it wouldn't be an ordinary troop since it sounds like a big event. Maybe I would do better with the NE Space Expo event in April as my first troop? I could just go to the parade as a spectator with the family to see you guys in action at least. Link to comment

That's totally fine if you like. We'd??love to have you for the parade though - wranglers are always appreciated. You could help people get suited up beforehand, then march alongside us carrying water and make sure everyone is doing okay. Also, the crowd tends to get a little rowdy sometimes (St Paddy's Day isn't exactly a dry holiday ;)) so you might need to do a small of crowd control.

Alay Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Looks like all sorts of parades are getting axed because of the virus.?? We'll keep an eye out to see if they reschedule this, but until the situation changes this might become a more regular outcome to big events ?? Stay safe folks.

Chewy Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 As said before, the parade has been postponed by the organisers as a precaution against COVID-19.?? Please do not go to New Haven this weekend. If the parade is rescheduled to a reasonable date (I'm pessimistic it'll be back this year tbh), then we'll see about our entry. Sorry folks.??
