Greetings! I was in this parade. I was in the Fantasia unit, and was an enchanted broom! What a summer! If you want to know anything at all about what it was like to get into this costume, to march from Small World to the top of main street twice a day, in the record breaking heat that summer of 1983, Im the guy to ask! Peace.
ReplyDeleteThat's gotta be Jerry Pokracki, right??? Sorry about the spelling, bro...) We were broom brethren in that parade. Just a bunch of big, strong gus who didn't have to be "dancers", and woudln't wilt in the heat, like Jerry said. We killed it...twice a day!!

Memories that can never be forgotten, and some friendships continue which were begun that hot summer of 83’.
Peace, and God bless you Axel. 😊

ReplyDeleteDan Keseloff - Fellow "Broom Brother", checking in. My favorite part of that was when one of us fell and proceeded to be shrink-wrapped to the pavement by the fan unit. Good memories!
ReplyDeleteDan! How are you? Sorry that I took so long to respond to your message. I hope that you are well, and life has been good to you these last 41 years, my fellow enchanted broom! 😂
