Did you know you can come march, too? \u00a0Here&#8217;s the info from our organizer, Yingling:<\/p>\n<p>We have been invited to march in the St Patrick&#8217;s Day Parade. This is an opportunity to introduce Pittsburgh to the Barony and the SCA. We have 30 slots for marchers and are alloted room for a truck pulling a trailer. However, the &#8220;30&#8221; is considered more of a guideline than a rule. The More the MErrier is the official stance!<\/p>\n<p>Come on out and march with the Baroness. Show off your best garb and\/or armor. Come fight! Come dance!<\/p>\n<p>Some Rules:<br \/>\nThis is a family event<br \/>\nNo alcohol at any point during the parade.<br \/>\nNo throwing things. (i.e. Candy or beads)<br \/>\nNo political statements or displays.<br \/>\nNo stopping the parade.<br \/>\nThere must be a marcher at each of the 2 front tires of the truck as well as at the tires of the trailer.<\/p>\n<p>The details:<br \/>\nThe time to report is 9AM. The location is Liberty Ave, Strip District, between 21st and 26th Street.<\/p>\n<p>I will be down there with our float which will consist of a White pick-em-up truck pulling an 18 foot flat bed trailer. The trailer will be sporting a cool banner we made for the barony. I&#8217;ll post on the Facebook event the exact location when I arrive.<\/p>\n<p>The parade starts at 10 so there is enough time to finish armoring up\/finishing touches on garb.<br \/>\nThe parade is ~2 miles\/45 minutes <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">start to end.<br \/>\nThey suggest parking in the Strip Dist and walking. I suggest meeting somewhere and carpooling into town.<\/p>\n<p>There is room in the pick-up to store stuff during the parade. Or to ride if your feet hurt. The throne(obviously) and the benches on the trailer have been dibbed.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone is interested in volunteering to drive the pick-up, it&#8217;ll be helpful. It is just an F-150 that will be pulling a trailer at slow speeds. Nothing tricky.<\/p>\n<p>A suggestion was made last year that groups need to &#8220;Irish it up more&#8221;. So, dress in your finest garb and wear that ridiculous green bowler<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Facebook &#8220;event&#8221;:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/252072021882777\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/252072021882777\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See you there!<br \/>\nIn Levitate et Caritate,<br \/>\nBaroness Hilda<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Debatable Lands!
