This is a first for us and we're so excited. We're inviting all students and their parents to join us. Walk along side the float or in the back. Coach Nick will be our "caboose" riding on his 3-wheel motocycle. We might even have our new mascot, Comet the Mustang on the float!
Wear your Countryside shirt and any other fun St. Patrick's Day apparel you can find. Check out the dollar section of Target and the various Dollar Stores. They have lots of items: beads, wigs, hats, glasses, etc.
More details coming your way soon ... but for now, please
SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, March 16.
Parade begins at Tryon and 9th Streets. It marches down Tryon to 3rd Street where it makes a left. It ends on the corner of 3rd and Caldwell Streets (near the NASCAR Museum).
