Introducing:
Here we are, waiting anxiously for the parade to start! It felt like forever and we thought we were going to be the last float to leave the park, but when we finally hit the streets of Oneonta, everything went great. I can't remember a time when Main Street was so crowded. A heartfelt thanks to all who marched with us and to the children who made signs to carry with the OWL.Thanks to Tom Pondolfino and Brian Rivard for building the skeleton (which should be strong enough to last forever!) and to all of the painters: Nancy, Nathaniel, Beth, Rachel and Jacquie. Much credit goes to John and Andrea, who turned their garage into an OWL roost for a month. Special thanks go to Janet Sutta, for artistic direction and bringing the OWL to life!

Come join the Centennial parade!
Come show your support for Oneonta World of Learning (OWL), by marching in the parade. Some parents are decorating their kids' wagons and bicycles, and a few people will be needed to help carry signs, but most of all, it would be great to muster as much support as we can for this event.
The parade is Saturday October 4th at 4:30pm. However, they are asking participants to gather with their floats inside Neahwa Park between 3 and 4 pm to give them time to line us up. Non-parade vehicles are asked to park outside the park. We are in section 2, number 23, between The Reminiscers Car Club and the Red Cross (look for the giant owl). The Centennial Website has more info, including where to view the parade on TV.
