:cool:

Good ole Youngstown :mad: ...
ONLY the ABC Network is carrying the "America's Thanksgiving Parade" ...
with a generous (NOT) time allotment of 12:00 noon to 1:00PM ... :mad:

Kimmy - you said "Our TV Slot: approx. 11:30 a.m." ...

Is that the approximate "real time" your 501st Legion will march past the TV cameras?

I can't tell from the TV listing if ABC will tape delay and edit their coverage;
or just put on an hour's worth of whatever is marching past.

Maybe you guys can get a "local" to make a recording of the Detroit TV coverage.

And is Kia gearing up and marching? ;)

You guys have **PHUNN** ... we'll try to *wave* at ya!
:D

Yeah that's what the parade organizers told us.

Date :Thursday, November 22, 2007
Arrival: 8:00 a.m. SHARP!
Changing: 8:00 a.m. - 8:45 a.m.
Shuttle to Start: 8:45 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.

I'll have my VCR set and I'm sure mine and Andy's parents will tape it as well. Hopefully we'll get some air time. :)

That'll be fun! Wave to us when you pass the cameras so we'll know which Sandtrooper is you! ;)

I have marched the last two years in the Swallows Parade. I cannot imagine doing it in your costume!

Have a blast!

Have fun!!

Oh how fun!

:D You guys ar too much! This will give me a great reason to watch the parade (I usually have to defer my TV plans to sports :rolleyes: ) or at least insist on taping it. Have fun!

Thanks everyone!

Our local Garrison Commander, Jon, and Dave, who helped organize the event, were interviewed this weekend. The video shows a lot of past event footage. It turned out very nice. :D

Kimmy what station is it being aired on?

I saw a commerical for it on the local CBS station that'll be airing it from 9-Noon.

I'm not sure about up there. You'd have to check your local listings. (Or channel surf for commercials :) )

*edit*

Here's a PDF for a listing of stations. It's alphabetical by state.
