(not our float)
MEMBERS - WE REALLY NEED YOU! . . . PLEASE JOIN US SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30th . . . ON OUR FLOAT IN THIS YEAR’S NEVADA DAY PARADE
This has all happened in a few weeks. Now we need YOU to participate with us in this Nevada tradition – and help us get the word out about Nevada Grape Growers & Winemakers.
- Mike & Christy Lenox (Lenox Vineyards, Silver Springs) offered to submit a NGGW float in this year’s Nevada Day Parade on Saturday, October 30th.
- NGGW’s Treasury committed up to $500 to get our story out there and the float committee have designed a fantastic first-time float. Members are working 24/7 to get it ready for the Saturday 30th
- Mike Lenox is providing the truck, and Dave Perdue offered his 17’ trailer.
- Dave & Valdean McLean built a mechanical 5’ wine bottle + 3’ wine glass that will don the top the truck. Dave Perdue is providing his Italian wine press.
- The trailer will have hay bales to sit on (provided by Lenox Vineyards), Mike & Alynn provided a stack of wine barrels, and we’ll have other winemaking equipment on board as well
- The sides of the truck and trailer will be covered with banners from NGGW and Nevada’s commercial wineries
- We’ll have $250 of candy to hand out to the kids along the parade route
- We’ll also hand out flyers to the public to “ENTER TO WIN” a fabulous gift basket stocked with Nevada-made wine and other Nevada products. To ENTER, people will visit www.nggw.org (good exposure, yes?), enter their name, phone & email AND we’ll draw a winner on November 10th at our membership meeting at the Blackrock Wine Co on 6135 Lakeside Drive, suite 111, Reno
We are # 148 in Division 9 and will first meet at Fritch Elementary (504 Bath St, Carson City, NV) at 7:30 to align barrels and hay bales etc/ the big decorations. Then we will stage for the parade on Fleischmann Way between North Nevada Street and Carson Street at around 8:00 a.m.
