Sinterklaas Parade Volunteers

A side note to all my Northern Dutchess friends. I just spoke with Jeanne Fleming about the Parade. She is very concerned that they don’t have the 200+ people needed to assist with carrying the puppets. The parade, on December 6, will start at the Starr Library. Everyone needs to be there to be assigned a leg or some such “limb” of the gigantic puppets.

One of her assistants will be coordinating the committed puppet walkers. If people are interested AND can commit PLEASE email me (nrobbins@namaro.com) your name & email & how many people can help (first names for them would be helpful too). The details for parade walkers – we need to be at Starr Library no later than 4:30; parade line up is at 5:00 and the roads will be closed off at 5:00. Parking may be problematic, so if you can walk up to the library – all the better. Otherwise, there is parking down by the pool.

So send me your names if you know you can help out. There are many giant puppets waiting for people to help them join in the fun!!!!

Any questions … I’ll be happy to try and find the answers. You can also visit the Sinterklaas website, www.sinterklaasrhinebeck.com.
