To THE TROOPERS:

It appears Gasparilla was a rousing success. Everyone had enough to eat…..and DRINK!

Thanks to everyone who helped with Bruncharilla and Parade preparation.

On a sad note, many of you are aware of Sant’ Yago’s ruling that we are suspended from the Knight Parade for this parade and next. In spite of the evidence and our multiple appeals, they are standing by their decision. We feel it is an injustice to punish a Krewe for the acts of a few, but as the saying goes it is what it is. We are in the process of organizing a party at a place to be determined on the night of the parade, which is February 12th. Stay tuned.

On a happy note, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday March 12th, 2011 at 8:00PM. We will muster at Tommy’s at 5:30PM and the bus will take us to the parade route from 6:00 on. This is a member guest parade.

On a happy happy note, the Krewe will participate in the St. Petersburg Honda Grand Prix Parade on Thursday March 24th, at 7:00PM. Details will follow.

Dear Krewe,

The Suncoasters of St. Petersburg invite you to join us for the

Honda Grand Prix Illuminated Night Parade!

Thursday - March 24, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.

Once again, the Annual Illuminated Night Parade will kick off the Honda Grand Prix race

weekend in downtown St. Petersburg!

The parade will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Central Avenue and proceed along St. Petersburg's

beautiful waterfront ending in front of the Renaissance Vinoy.

Marching through downtown and along the beautiful waterfront, this year's parade will feature

our very own 750-member Second Time Arounders Marching Band, floats, krewes,

neighborhood associations, and, of course, many of the Grand Prix drivers in their show cars.

A Mayor's Trophy will be awarded to the best Krewe! And, a special VIP area will be set aside

for all Krewe members to come and enjoy the live music and fireworks at the Party in the Park

immediately following the parade in North Straub.

A parade application is enclosed. Additional applications and a complete list of rules and

regulations area also available on our website at festivalofstates.com. Completed applications

should be returned as soon as possible, but no later than February 15, 2011.
