Green Valley

Country Fair White Elephant Parade

October 25, 2008

Mike McGee will again setup this fun event for OPMC.

Have you ever been in a parade?  Well, OPMC will again participate in a grand parade with members driving their Miatas in the annual Green Valley Country Fair White Elephant Parade.  The White Elephant is a volunteer-operated Green Valley thrift store that resells donated items and provides all profit proceeds to local charities and service organizations -- last year the White Elephant provided an amazing $1.2 million to these organizations.  The OPMC has again been honored by the Parade organizers to carry the two Grand Marshals for the Parade -- this is great honor for our Club.  Last year's parade had an estimated 10,000 viewers along the route in Green Valley.

Following the parade, OPMC parade participants and those club members who just came to watch the parade will get together for a grand lunch in Green Valley.  This year the lunch will be at the San Ignacio Golf Club where we will dine at the Coyote Grill.  We have a special room reserved for our club with a spectacular view of the Santa Rita Mountains.  We will order individually from the menu and pay via separate checks.  We understand the Corvette Club meets here monthly, so what more can you say about this fine dining spot.  Mike is not sure how many Miatas will be allowed in the parade this year, but last year we had twenty OPMC member cars participate.  If you would like to represent the OPMC by driving your car in the October 2008 parade, please signup via the survey form below.  This is very fun event and we hope many of you will participate or at least come for the great lunch.
