Do you want to be in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade this year?


Photo by my friend Walter.

For those in the Toronto area: If you're at least 11 yrs old, can walk 5 km, & are interested in marching in The Santa Claus Parade on Sun. Nov. 21st, please send me a private message. Just received my Marchers' Application form but I can't participate this year.

You can see photos from my own parade experience here:

Warning: you can't pick what costume you're given, and your costume may be changed at the last minute. I was originally assigned to be a Golden Fish but then was reassigned as a Greeter Clown instead. Greeter Clowns are pretty much the only Marchers who get to wander freely during the parade (to greet and high-five people in the crowd), while others march in formation. Also be warned that the parade takes place, rain or shine.

Again, please send me a private message if you're interested; don't just post below. I'll put up a notice here when I've given the form away. Thanks!
