For many years the VMGCC participated in the annual LaGrange Pet Parade - driving MGs in it! We thought it would be a good idea to try to drive our cars in it again, both Clubs together.

This Parade was first staged in 1947 benefiting Pet Parade Charities, an organization that supports animal care and the bonds between kids and animals. Many non-profit groups take part in the Parade, but only after their entry forms are approved by the Parade Committee. We submitted an entry form for our two Clubs to participate in it (driving our MGs)…AND WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!

So, mark your calendar for Saturday 1st June at 9:30 a.m.

The Parade committee thinks we will be able to drive up to 20 cars. In addition, those in our Clubs who wish to walk with pets should be able to do so. The Parade ends near a carnival in LaGrange, so this would be a good chance for the kids and grandkids to have some more fun after the Parade.

Information on the necessary individual registration or entry forms, both to drive and walk in the Parade, will be provided at Club meetings, in the May 2019 newsletters, and in the e-mail blasts.

To get more background on this annual event, see the LaGrange Pet Parade web site. Also, you can watch videos of past parades on the Internet.
