Dear All,

Those of us planning on going to Grand Saline this weekend are keeping an eye on the weather forecast. My sources tell me once the rain clears on Friday evening, the weekend will be dry.

Weather permitting, the parade organizers have our contingent of the Texas Cobra Club staged towards the front of the line (hoofstock will be in the back of the line). Expected participants besides TCC include local diginitaries, Grand Saline's State Representative Dan Flynn (R), Miss Texas USA, and media from Channel 7 and Channel 19 as well as the New York Times.

Upon arrival to town, we will head to the parade staging area at the corner of Main and High Streets. This should be around 9am if we rendezvous and depart from Mesquite on time.

So far we have as participants:

Richard P
Eric
Greg
Richard R
Colin
Jack
Gary
