There is a 2nd Parade on SUNDAY and they are looking for additional cars!
WE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB OF GETTING 40+ CORVETTES FOR THE SATURDAY PARADE, THAT THE AIRSHOW IS LOOKING FOR ADDTIONAL CARS TO HELP DURING THE SUNDAY VETERANS PARADE.
THE PRIMARY CLUB FOR SUNDAY'S PARADE IS THE STREET MACHINES OF ROCHESTER
CONTACT CARMELA GALLINAT TO SIGN-UP!
250th Celebration Veterans Honor Parade @
the Rochester International Air Show
Question: Why are we being asked to participate on both days?
Answer: The Airshow still needs more cars to transport the Veterans during the Sunday parade and asked for our help.
Question: Can I participate in both the Saturday and Sunday parade?
Answer: YES YOU CAN DO BOTH PARADES! You must contact Carmela to be added to the Sunday list!
Question: Should I cancel doing the parade on Saturday?
Answer: NO! We really need to keep everyone that signed up on Saturday on the list! We do not want to let the Veterans down by not having enough Corvettes for them to ride in!
Question: Is there a charge to stay to watch the Airshow?
Answer: NO! By volunteering to do the parade, you and your passenger can stay and watch the Airshow FREE OF CHARGE!
The rest of the information below is the same as the Saturday parade.
You can bring a passenger to the show. *THE PASSENGER WILL EXIT THE CORVETTE ONCE WE STAGE THE CARS INSIDE THE AIRPORT SO THE VETERANS CAN RIDE IN THE PARADE. (Bring your chairs, to enjoy the Airshow afterwards!
This is a patriotic event, so please wear red, white & blue and bring American Flags or Patriotic items to decorate your Corvette for the parade! *ALSO WEAR YOUR NAME BADGE!
