03/10/12 Ft Myers Beach Shrimp Festival Parade

It's time to clean and polish the pony and come on down to the beach and take part in Ft Myers Beach's biggest yearly parade.  Once again GSMC will be in this parade which is a blast to ride in.  If you haven't taken part in any GSMC activities so far, don't miss this opportunity to have a ball.  We need all of you to help the club show off to the spectators who line Estero Blvd, that GSMC is "THE" premier car club in South West Florida.  Don't let the Corvettes (ugh!) show us up.  If we had 20 cars at last years July 4th parade, we should be able to double that number easily.  Even though the parade usually begins around 10am, the Mantansas Bridge will be closed at 9am, so if you're not ON the island by 8:30am at the latest, you'll miss the parade.  Traffic is horrendous on San Carlos Blvd early that morning trying to cross the bridge, so come early, have breakfast somewhere and do the parade with your fellow club members.  Although the club will provide free candy to toss to the spectators who will line the entire route, if you wish to bring your own candy, you are welcomed to do so as you will help defray some of the cost involved.  

We will meet between 7:30am and 8:15am at the First Baptist Church of Fort Myers Beach parking lot - 130 Connecticut Street (which intersects Estero Blvd),  Ft Myers Beach.  From there we will go to our assigned staging area.  If you've never done a parade before, don't miss this opportunity.  You'll be guaranteed to have a ball and show off that Mustang.  Afterall, that's one of the reasons why you bought it, didn't you?
