Independence Day Parade

Royse City, Texas

Mission Date; July 4, 2009

Ride Captain:

None Currently Assigned

We have been invited again this year to the Royce City 4^th of July parade.  This is an evening parade when the sun is lower in the sky and is only about a half-mile long.  The parade is led each year by the Tri-County Veteran Honor Guard and they have asked us to join them in leading the parade, a very prestigious position and a great honor.  We shared this honor with them last year and they have invited us back.  In the invitation they said that last year the PGR “made the parade a huge success.”

Part 1 – Parade:  Saturday, July 4th – 6:00 PM

Staging – 5:30 PM

First Methodist Church
305 N. Josephine St. (corner of Hwy 66 and Josephine)

We will meet in the parking area of the church and locate Mr. Gene Allen and the Tri-County Veteran Honor Guard and line up with them for the parade.

Weather:  Partly cloudy with a high of 98 degrees.

There will be no water truck available for this event.  Each rider is responsible for his/her own hydration.

It is highly recommended that each rider take proper precautions for the hot weather and begin proper hydration procedures the day prior to the parade, including electrolyte enhancing beverages.  It’s also a good idea to make accommodation on your motorcycle to carry easily accessible water, etc., with you for use during the parade itself.

Respectfully Submitted,

Steve “Badger” Lucas
North Texas Deputy State Captain
