Pagosa Springs Rotary Club
Dear Rotary Wranglers and Volunteers, WE STILL NEED HELP - Contact me if you are available!
Thank you for being a part of this great community event! Here are some last minute thoughts and instructions.
- Please come to the High School parking lot to get your orange safety vest and check in at 9:00 AM - Keep your vest afterwards and bring it to the next Rotary meeting.
- Please use only Hot Springs Blvd to Apache Street or 6th Street to Apache Street to travel to the High School. 5th Street will be under construction and will be closed. Use only 6th Street or Hot Spring Blvd to 6th Street to access the High School parking lot. 8th street is the parade final staging area and will be one-way going toward Highway 160. DUE NOT ATTEMPT to travel 8th Street toward the High School!
- Please be at your assigned station by 9:30. Our main duty is SAFETY. There is a lot of congestion in that half hour before the parade and you can be very important in helping with crosswalk traffic and keeping folks from setting up their chairs and such too far into the roadway
- NOTHING MAY BE HANDED OUT UNTIL AFTER PASSING LEWIS STREET BECAUSE OF DETOURED VEHICLE TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY 160
- Throwing items or spraying water is strictly prohibited
- Children should not go out toward the floats, or horses. Someone walking with a float may hand out goodies by coming to the side of the highway
- Make sure the floats keep up with the next float to avoid big gaps in the parade. If an entrant is falling behind, diplomatically encourage the driver to keep up with the next float. It’s a long walk for the animals and participants. Stopping on hot asphalt is not a good thing.
- If there is an emergency, call 911
- If you have a question, call John Shepard 903-4006 or Shellie Peterson 507-0500
THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING !! HAVE FUN, BE SAFE !! DON’T LET THE ONE OR TWO INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE GET TO YOU (THERE MAY ALWAYS ONE OR TWO) BE DIPLOMATIC !!
