Well ... you start at the beginning. Today was a great day for a walk along the parade route starting here at the corner of Fort Street and Assiniboine Avenue. It may not mean much to you now but in only 75 days you will be familiar with Winnipeg and this intersection, just south of the Hotel Fort Garry.
Speaking of the Hotel Fort Garry...you will march right on by the hotel on your way to the Opening Ceremony. This hotel has just as much majesty on the inside as it does outside. (And have I mentioned there is a Spa too?!)
Genie was strolling along behind the group taking careful notes...like she has for the past three years. This is Broadway Avenue near the front of the Manitoba Legislative Building.
Genie and I stopped to show off some IAWP 2014 wear. Soon enough you will be able to purchase your conference shirt. This is only one of a few version of shirts you can choose.
Now this will be the end point, a view from the front doors of the Manitoba Legislative Building. I can't give away all the secrets so you will have to see it for yourself this fall.
So to plan a parade you take several friends from the planning committee (most of the others are camera shy so I can't show their faces) and you walk the route, taking notes, talking over potential glitches and mostly hope that the fabulous weather we had today holds out until September 28!
See you all in 75 days!
