The Huskies Hockey Club Highlight the Homecoming Parade!
(click image to enlarge)
While the day was somewhat colder than in the past, the hockey team paid little attention to the weather and enjoyed the start of the parade.
Driving the lead car, Bob Grayson looks towards the camera while the others discuss strategy.
Within moments the mission becomes clear as they distribute more candy to pass out.
The second car in line, driven by Mike Beard, is clearly decorated and consistent with the rain forest motif of the day.
Inside the car, Mike Beard holds up a box of Jaw Busters. Brett Newman and Jim Minaghan ride along to help out.
Hey- are these guys having fun? Evan McCall drives this sporty number while Mike Wojotowicz provides commentary blasting through the speakers on top.
As they pass the Tasty Dog, there is some discussion as to whether maybe we could send someone over?
A rear view of the Mustang shows the detail to which Carmen Beard and company decorated these cars. Hey- isn't that High-sticking, Joel?
A look from behind at the 'rap-mobile.' The running dialogue provided by the Mike turned out to be a real crowd pleaser.
Steve Smith and and Huskie team mates Zach and Nate drive this classic car that gives the line-up a retro-look.
The calm before the storm. The photo was taken about 15 minutes before the parade started. The OPRF Alumni Club was set up just in front of the Tasty Dog.
The OPRF Hockey Club would like to thank Carmen Beard and the many others who donated their time and efforts in making this a success. We would also like to thank our friends at the Ferrara Pan Candy Company for the generous donation of Lemonheads, Atomic fireballs etc. that we were able to pass out during the parade.
