This year, the mighty Highland Parade celebrates its 25th anniversary on February 14 (start time 2 PM) with the timely yet tasteful theme of “Highland Goes Green.” Once again Andy Goldthwaite and Jon Soul have developed two ideas to help. First they are coordinating recycling efforts during parade staging (10 AM – 2 PM) at Byrd High School. Second, they have reserved a slot in the parade for a pedestrian (in the walking sense) float and are asking all interested to contact them at Andy Goldthwaite: [email protected] or Jon Soul: [email protected] Both efforts will be fun and worthwhile.

This sounds awesome. I’m hoping to make “2010 in 2010,” meaning my goal is to make 2,010 pieces of art this year from mainly recycled materials. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll contact Andy and Jon.
